| Hey guys, I would like to buy (1) Push-Pull fine tuning screw. In my area, things like this are almost impossible to find. Any help, greatly appreciated. Eddie |

Eddie -
You might want to consider removing one of the existing fine tuning screws that is Not affected by Either a Raise or Lower (without knowing your setup, say, perhaps your 7th string?)
Then find an Ace Hardware aisle and ask 'can you match this? '
Just a thought
Or not

| Make sure you check both yours and the one they give you in their ‘thread-o-meter’ |

Emmons guitars use Nylok tipped socket cap screws, which are not typically found In hardware stores. This is to hold the tuner screw in place while playing. McMaster-Carr, Billy Knowles or Lynn Stafford may sell them.
If you go the non Nylok route, you’ll need to put a small spring on the screw before screwing it in to help it hold pitch.
I can’t remember the screw size but I’ll check later on my “thread-o-meter†and get back to you. |

Another route if you can't find the nylok one,put just a dab of contact cement on the thread.
