Review on πŸ”© Favordrory 6#-32 Anodized Aluminum Thumbscrews - Premium Computer Case Thumb Screws in Black (10 PCS) by Chris Kaul

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit for my Dynaco ST70 and VTA

Okay, we all with those vintage frame amps know how difficult it is to remove and replace those frames, especially with VTAs when you need access to triodes and pentode switches . From finding a screwdriver and carefully removing 4 screws without scratching the nickel plate or stainless steel finish and trying not to lose the screws. But these thumbscrews are the answer. The perfect size so nothing gets damaged or shorted out internally. My ST70 was an early version between 1959 and 1963 so self-tapping screws were used, but a quick pass with a tap or just a 6-32 screw and you're done. In hindsight I would have preferred a steel thumbscrew to an aluminum one as I could see how the threads could easily cross when screwed into steel or just wear out, but I knew screwing them in and with a bit of care should do it all the way Life. Highly recommend and they look great.
