D130j/nj lost set screw

[Pape]

Hello RR,

What was bound to happen happened: I lost one of the set screw (01009) on an Diamond D130j/nj, I'm wondering if any of you know where I can get a replacement ?

Thanks
Regards

Bring another set screw to your local hardware store or home improvement center, they usually have thread sizers there. The owners manual does not list the thread size of the set screws.

I have a D130 in my attic I have had for decades and there are a couple set screws missing that got dropped in the insulation never to be found again. I used regular screws to replace the Allen head screws as I didn't have replacement Allen head screws on hand.

When you find out the thread size please let us know, I might look for some replacements for my pair of D130's to keep on hand.

If it's like the one I have, it's probably going to be a metric. ACE Hardware sells them. Get a stainless even if it costs a buck more.

You can use a standard bolt if it is long enough and doesn't need to be that insex type. I think it was a M4 tread.

Exactly what happened to me, dissembled partially to get it there and reassembly, well you know the story.
I ordered a set of hex screw from amazon will let you know once I have a chance to get back up there.

I bought the same set off Amazon a while ago. Had same problem with one of my discones. USPS showed up with the package and problem went away.

Installed my last radial today and turn out the set screw is a Din 914 Grub Cone Point Hex Socket M4 X 6mm
I also lost one of the antenna to support pipe and replaced all of them by Hex Socket M3 X 5mm, the original are M3 X 4mm, so now I can work the antenna with only one allen key
