[ICOM] missing screw

[Larry Benko]

Come on guys.  A lot of bad info has been floating around here today.

On the 8 pin IC706 cable the screw does NOT connect to any pins at all.  
It is only a mechanical connection at the radio.

On the 10 pin IC7000 cable the screw does NOT connect to any pins at 
all.  It is only a mechanical connection at the radio.

The screw is needed for additional mechanical strength to guarantee that 
the cable pins mate with the radio but that is  all.

On both radios the screw is a 3.0mm (diameter) x 0.5mm (thread pitch, 
coarse thread for 3mm dia.) and is 6mm long.
They are $2.30 per 100 at McMaster Carr (www.mcmaster.com) and is part 
#92005A116.  I already deleted the first email from the guy looking for 
the screws but if you send me a small padded SASE I will throw some 
screws in the envelope and send it back to you.
