    I've inherited a rather old Yamaha Clavinova CLP-650 keyboard. Unfortunately, it seems that over the years some of the screws have gone missing as the thing was transported. I've uploaded pictures of the two screw types I'm missing some of: I'm missing 1 of the longer screws, described in the manual as "Long screws (gold)", and 3 of the shorter screws, described in the manual as "Short screws (black)". Any idea whether I could get some replacements? screw-b.jpg screw-a.jpg

    You need to know the diameter of the threaded portion, guessing M6?

    Look like fairly common M6 bolts in terms of thread size and length.

    Look on Ebay for some, the actual head my be slightly different but that shouldn't matter.

    If they are just replace them all for new ones.

    The gold one looks like 6mm but the black one looks more like 5mm. Does that sound typical?

    Yes, so you have an M6 x 75mm Pan Head and an M5 x 19mm Pan Head, as Phil the Paver advised...........ebay

    Pan head screws are sized to the inside of the heaf, so measure that way.
    The long one looks like a cross dowel bolt, the short just a standard machine screw.

    They are M6, local engineer merchant should stock them.

    They did use cross dowel bolts on some the stand for that organ.

    If I went to my local Screwfix and presented them with these screws, would they be able to match them up with equivalent new ones?

    Not unless they got a catalogue number stamped on 'em!

    It's tricky for me to tell whether the black one is an M6 or an M5. It kind of looks closer to 5mm but it's tough to tell as it's so small. That's why I was hoping Screwfix could help me.

    Try an M5 nut and an M6 nut, that will tell you which one.

    Can you not measure across the threads?
    If you haven't got a Vernier/caliper, hold 2 threads between 2 pieces of straight wood, and measure the gap.

    I have a ruler. And the black one looks like 5mm, the other one looks like 6mm. But it's such a small difference my eyes could be playing tricks.
