Little screw

[Richard R]

Evening  chums!

I have a TS100 soldering iron bought a while back. Changing the tip this evening and somehow dropped the little countersunk screw that holds the tip onto the body. I have searched for ages trying to find it -  the workshop is now absolutely spotless! -  but I still can't find the blessed screw.

 

Anyone happen to know what thread the screw is, or know where I could get a replacement? It's less than M3.5, but I have nothing smaller I can try.

what size allen key does it take, if its a 1.5mm then its probably M3 like most metric saddle screws

It's a slotted countersunk screw.

Maybe not countersunk.
