So I grabbed an Impress a while back that came with a very messed up control panel, the screw housing on the panel side were broken and the previous owner used sprayfoam and wood screws to make it "work". I've since acquired a new panel in decent shape and I'm looking to replace it but after digging through the manual I was able to find some of the screws I'm missing but the panel hinge screws weren't listed. Any impress owners or aficionado's able to help me out here?

These are listed in the manual. I will look them up. Self tappers, length matters.

As far as repairing the threads, I have had excellent results doing the following assuming they are not totally stripped.

Superglue with a drop of water (use a toothpick). Go one layer of glue at a time. The water makes the glue dry almost instantly, but give it overnight. Repeat until you have enough thread to work with.

If totally stripped, you are going to do something similar but with a different adhesive. Hope it doesn't come to that.
 
I have a new panel to install so I'm not worried if the old one has stripped out holes. I looked at the manual on arcade otaku and I found info on pretty much all the other screws using the picture references but didn't see one for that part and I don't read Japanese. If I did over look it please let me know where it was so I can kick myself :)
 
Turns out I am retard and they are not listed. Every other fastener on this machine is an M4, so I think this is what you are after:

Depth is somewhere between 8 and 12mm. I will try and pull on out of machine later and measure, but you should be able to get a sense of length based on 3/4 of the depth of the fastener post.

We’re you ever able to validate the size on these?
