K1 Stand Screw Size

[AA4W]

Hello all,

I have a K1 and I’m building a bracket to tilt the rig on my desk.

I am having trouble figuring out the size of the screw for the side of the radio.

I’m thinking it’s a #8 but it starts tight and I’m afraid to force it.

Anyone know the proper screw?

Thanks,

Rick

Rick,

According to the KTS1 manual, it is 10-32.
Both the diameter, and the thread pitch must match.  Common hardware at
the DIY store may be 10-24.

A good hobby shop will carry 10-32 hardware.

Thanks for the replies,

The K1 manual doesn't mention the side bolt, as I could tell.

But I was sure someone had a KST2 manual.

I'm good to go, now.

Regards,

If there are any manuals that you do not have, just go to the Elecraft
website and download whichever one you are interested in.

You might want to download the instructions for the KTS1 stand.
Looking at my parts inventory sheet for my KTS1, it looks like its a 10-32 1/2 inch long.
