Here are sets of "spanners" that you would find interesting.

Spanner.

Warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control
Somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole
There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town
Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down
There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell
There's leaking in the washroom there's a sneak in personnel
Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
Goodness me, could this be industrial disease?
The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post
They're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most
The watchdog's got rabies the foreman's got fleas
And everyone's concerned about industrial disease

I could put a few score reels up on ebay if you like. I'll do the international shipping thing and ebay handles overseas shipping. It may cost you, I don't know. I do know that after being a nice guy a few years ago and sending a "free" part to a pinsider in Canada, I ended up with about a $15 shipping bill, filling out customs forms and 45 minutes at the post office, so I'm done with that.

Not sure what your long term intent is, but IMO, one of the biggest mistakes I made early in the hobby was sourcing/buying new things like this nut, when it is easier and cheaper to have some spare assemblies around.

Quoted from MikeO:

I did not check in any way but looked like the screw could be a 4-40.

I think you are right, Mike. I think the 5-40 is for the relays. These are smaller.

Quoted from MikeO:

Switch stacks are normally held on with a slotted head screws.

I'm guessing the switch stacks on the score reels.

No idea how small they are. You can measure them yourself, right? Take the number in mm and divide by 25.4 to get inches. Then multiply by 32 for the size in 32nds of an inch. Reduce the fraction to 16th of an inch if required.

Example 1 5.6 mm /25.4 mm/in * 32 = 7.055 or 7/32"
Example 2 4.8mm /25.4 mm/in * 32 = 6.046 or 6/32" but WAIT, that fraction can be reduced. 3/16" (which is what I think it actually is)

Anyway, a nut driver is not my choice for this application. I prefer ignition wrenches or usually, just a needle nose plier or my fingers. You often need to get in from the side.
