Couldn't pass up this little Traveler Speedster.
The arm support is missing a screw.
Does anyone know what size screw do I need?
Thanks

Sorry, I don't know that info. If you go to a nearby Lowe's Home Improvement store and go to the hardware department, they usually have machined bolts and nuts attached to the wall. Take the one you do have and find the one that fits your dimension and thread size and you can replace it for a buck or so. Takes about 5 minutes.

Cool looking little axe.

Yes, it looks good and sounds good as well.

I can't take one as the one that's in the body is a peg that goes into one hole on that support and another goes from the top and screws on like this big yellow screw on the bottom left.

Another picture of the screw:

I can try some machine screw but without that big head, it'll be hard to put it on and take it off.

That is cool! What a hot ticket. I hope you post a picture when you locate the screw. A You Tube would be even better. I would love to see that thing in action! I love it. ( Edit: oh, I thought the screw would be easier to replace. Good luck. I'm sure it's out there somewhere but maybe not off just any shelf. You could improvise I suppose. Funny the last guy didn't take care of that{?}!

There are many videos from players who can play, hope one day, I can

take the guitar and the arm rest with you to the hardware store so you can try out and get the right size.

you won't be the first person who brings the object to the store to size the hardware needed.

That's the plan.

How about a nice letter or email to the guitar company? They might send you one as a goodwill gesture. Cool guitar OK!

Looks like hardware found in the specialty drawers at Lowes or Ace.

I want to say they call it lamp hardware.

I read a review somewhere about it where someone contacted the company selling/making them and they sent one right out.

You have one screw, correct? Take that with you. They have both bolts and screw mounted on the wall. Once you find the right size and thread count there is a good chance you can find something in the specialty bins. May not be pretty, but will get the job done. Either that or contact the company if they still exist.

Then again, I may not have the proper picture in my head of what is needed.

Good luck.

No, one is a fixed peg on the body that goes into one hole of the support. It just slides into hole without screwing, for support.
The other hole is where the screw goes from outside into the guitar body to secure it.
I'll try few stores.
No hurry.
