Tuning Peg screw

[baddpark]

Hi,
My son has a peavey cirrus but he can't tune it up as one of the tuning pegs won't turn. This is due to a faulty screw in the tuning peg.
Any idea where I can get a screw from. Smaller than an M3 but bigger than an M2? Cheers

M2.5?

[baddpark]

yep, but sourced from where. I've gone to numerous DIY and music outlets, bought gear online and all to no avail.

Ang on, i'll go look in the shed. Got an old set of pegs somewhere.....

Ok, the ones in mine measure up at 2.4mm so that will be M2.5
I would say they are all pretty standard, so find someone with an old set of pegs, or even a trip to your local guitar shop.
Failing that, try http://www.modelfixings.co.uk/miniature_cap_screws.htm
This one is 20mm long

Thanks for the advice danthevan, I'll give it a go!
