Sega CD 2 Metal Plate Screw Question

[jdawg131]

I recently picked up a Genesis 1 and a SCD2 off of eBay. The SCD2 came with all three of the metal plates and the plastic extender (it has the plate and the two screws to properly and securely attach it). Unfortunately, it didn't come with the screw for the big metal plate that attaches to the bottom of the Genesis. Which type of screw would I need? I don't have my Genesis right now as it's being modded by Az (ooXxXoo). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Honestly, it may be harder then it's worth to track a right size screw down. You can just set it on the plate and put it together without the screw and it'll still work fine, the screw just makes it secure. The only way to find one would be to have measure the threads on a screw with a thread gauge and go to a hardware store to get a new one or take the console to a hardware store and measure the threads. Either way not worth it.

i have never used the plates in my life, and have had a sega cd for like 16 or more years. Dont waist your time...

Thanks for the quick responses. I take it that the metal plate requires a different screw than the two for the extender plate?
