Aristocrat Arcadian query

Post by markflickr@icloud.com »

Hi All,
I have a poorly Arcadian. The mechanism all works fine, but the cabinet is rusty as hell.
Whilst I get to cleaning it up I have a question about the bolts/nuts. What fitting/sizes are they?
I was guessing Whitworth or UNF but don't have either to verify.
Also, is there a good relaible source of these anywhere? Ebay wasn't overly helpful as all the sizes were too big. The door looks to be held on with 1/8 size nuts for instance and I couldn't find any that small.

Any thoughts?

Mark

I should know the answer, but old imperial bolt/screw sizes have always been a source of confusion to me and I just have socket sets and spammers covering both. :HaHa:

What is wrong with what you have? Are they really that bad? !PUZZLED!

I have lost the pot of bolts I had whilst dismantling it (house move). !PUZZLED!
I have tried everything I have but nothing fits correctly.
Just wondered if I bought a selection of whatever they are, whether I could make something fit.
