So my question: where does someone go to find a tiny little screw like
this? I am imagining a shop that sells electronic parts, or maybe a
manufacturer of screws. But this is all a bit mysterious to me. The
screw is probably about 1mm across, about 3mm long, and left hand
thread. I don't even know the thread size...I need a shop that can
help me sort all this out. Ideas?

Hi Riverman,

No clue. Sorry. :'(

An alternate idea you may want to run by the new
owner: re-tap the hole with a wider screw that you
have access to. A machine shop should have the
taps and all.
