Help Generation 1 Penn INT 50

[keys fishing]

I have a first generation 50 I stripped the clicker knob set screw. Any Idea's on finding a replacement part?Penn 50.jpgClicker .jpg

it looks like a standard 5-40 penn screw.  i check the schematics and can't find this style click knob on the schematics.  it's almost like someone rigged up a knob using a bushing from a long beach 60 or jigmaster 500.  anyway, it looks like a 5-40 screw.  if you send me a pm with your mailing address, i can drop a few into the mail to you.  alan

My little 30 was stripped also. Due to the design of those early models I think those little screws take a beating, loosen up and the clicker button is claimed by Davy Jones. I tapped mine to a larger size, machined the screw head to the correct dia. and used thread locker. Whoever made that did a good job.
