I can’t seem to figure out what kind of screw this is. It holds a “rollover” switch onto the Cirqus Voltaire neon ramp. It is very small and certainly not included in the big bag of everything from PinballLife. Any help would be appreciated!

Looks a 3/8 inch #4 (could be #2) Phillips pan head machine screw. Usually available at any ACE or True Value hardware. They will be in the little plastic boxes with specialty fasteners.

Because they can sometimes be hard to buy locally, I purchased a variety of lengths of #2,3, and 4 machine screws with assorted washers and nuts on line. The cost was only about $3 per hundred. I don't remember vendor but BoltDepot.com has them.

Hardware stores often have templates and things to determine the thread and size of screws. Those can help determine exactly what you need so if the store does not have it, you can find it online. Ebay is a good place to buy misc hardware imo.

I couldn’t find anything this small at the Ace near my house. I didn’t try Home Depot or Lowe’s, but at least I can order them from PinballLife.
