Hi Greg,

I have an Astatic Biscuit mic, which is missing the little set screw that holds the grill in place.  Do you know what size screw that is and/or where I can get one?

Thanks,

Greg

Hi, GregI don't have  Biscuit

Hi, GregI don't have  Biscuit in the shop to check right now. I am pretty sure it is a #6-32 screw. I DO have an Astatic 200 mic which uses the same style grill retention and it uses a #6-32. But it is possible it is a #8-32 which is slightly larger in diameter. You can buy one of each at the hardware store for a few cents a piece, so I would simply buy one of each and give them a try.

An update just for completeness sake - had a Biscuit though my shop this week. It is indeed #8-32.
