Hello Andrew! A pleasant surprise and "small world" (of us Ten-Tec
fans?).
I spoke to my local hardware store today and the smallest they had was --
0.05 inches! So I think we have a "bingo". I thought it unlikely that
Ten-Tec was using metric back in the first half of the 80s.
I tried to measure the set screw with a mm rule and a magnifying glass but
my ruler had fairly thick tick marks. I see that 1mm converts to 0.04
inches so I'm in the ballpark.
TU ES 72!
