Parts for an old Roland SC-540

[Manichino]

I have an old Roland SC-540...was wondering if anyone happens to have any spare parts laying around that I could buy from you. I need 5 screws (the ones that screw the printhead to the carriadge) and can't find them anywhere. Thank you!

are you able to post a photo of the screw...and as well can you measure the length in "mm"

It's these right here (like this one directly above the spring on the printhead). They're 8mm long.

Just by chance, have you contacted your local dealer to see if they have any they can sell you? I know our local tech always has extras kicking around and has replaced some on our machines in the past if we've misplaced.

That's a really good point. I called what I thought was my local GSG yesterday, and they did not have them...but I was talking to someone in another state. I just called back and asked them to transfer me to my local dealer, who ordered them for me directly from Roland and I'll have them in 5-7 business days. Thank you for the suggestion. I'm curious why they didn't order them for me from Roland yesterday.

if something goes wrong with the ones you have ordered...you can also buy them from a variety of sources...down side is you may have to buy 100 pieces...

Thank you! I had tried a few places online, but unfortunately they were on backorder for 30 days. I did have to order 100, but hey - i'll have some extra in case anyone else gets in a bind Thanks again for your help!
