I have a few switches pulled out. I can see what size screws they are but my understanding is that there are at least two sizes. I'll see what I can find out.

Great, Greg. I have some 4 40 screws that perhaps will work. Always tricky to get those knobs on the console...
Thx

You might want to opt to use threaded hex sockets. They are easier to screw in with an L allen wrench. Takes a little longer as it's still tight but they stay in good.
