Could someone do me a solid and take a picture and measure the three shell screws and the small screws on the backside of the home system?
Looking to replace them as the system I have is missing the screws. Thanks in advance :cool:

The one in the middle on the bottom is shorter (the one the original board revision systems don't have). The rest are the same.

I was gonna measure mine the next time I have it open, but I don't know when that will be. That system is like my hot rod -- I've had it open a lot to do work on it, but now one of the screw holes has its threads stripped, so the screw doesn't tighten anymore. Anyone opening your AES, please turn your screws counter-clockwise before screwing them back in to try and line up the threads, and don't screw them in too tight. The old plastic can't take too much abuse.

Hey @Jag-Master Did you manage source a set of suitable screws?

This is what my unit came with:

Yes, 4 different sizes, and none of them are the truss/washer head style...
Are any of them original? I have a AES3-4 model if there are any differences there...
