Found screw in the back of my amp but...

Post by bclaire » Wed Feb 08, 2017 2:06 am

Found this in the back of my AD30TC combo amp rolling around. Pulled the chassis and there's nothing missing and I never store anything in the back of the amp so... no idea. Black machine screw Phillips head. Weird.

That's a mini Maglite for comparison purposes...

Something that fell out of a piece of lighting equipent maybe? I know it may sound a little far-fetched but after enough tinkering with all our moving, flashing, blinking lights I know that that sort of screw really fits the part. It looks well-used too, but that might just be due to the quality of the picture.

Dunno, they look like Orange screws to me.

I suppose you would have noticed it before if it had always been there?

Is it used or new looking?

It looks like a speaker mounting screw.

Smaller than those diameter-wise. Nothing is missing!

Got my PPC112 used. Opened it up when I got it home and found 3 black plastic rings. Nothing appears out of sorts and I couldn't figure out what part they might play in the cab... thought they might have fallen into the cab during construction?

Those look like spacer washers off the jacks. Spare parts now.

my first thought as well
what can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof
