Good day!
I run into a bit of problem when cleaning my Agfa Record III range finder dial, while removing the tiny tiny set screws that hold the dial I realize the slit on the screw has already corroded and with just slight turn it broke, I'm lucky to manage to get it all out though, but now without anything to hold the dial in place.
Does anyone know what is the "technical" term of that said set-screw? I try to googling around for parts replacement but it's a bit difficult to find it if I don't know what is it call, or where to buy it from (my local hobby/hardware store don't even have screws that are remotely as small as this one).
Many thanks for any other pointers! Or point me to where can I buy bunch of these

... here in the UK they are often called grub screws

I've got some 12 BA (British Association thread) grub screws, with slot head and 90 degree cone point end, 3/32 inch long, about to be delivered. These are actually for the focus ring of an Ensign folder that I'm working on, but they can often be used in the focus rings of many others, including the German brands.Good day!

I had to buy a quantity, so I will have some spare, which might do the job for your rangefinder knob.
If you'd like to send me your email via a Private Message, I'll send you a picture when I have them to hand.

Right, grub screws. Talk to Jurgen Kreckel (certo6.com), who has a lot of experience with the Agfa folders.
