What size screw?

What size tourex screws are Miraphone linkage screws? I dislike using a flat head screw driver. BTW I don't know if I spelled tourex correctly. any help would be appreciated.

the linkage screws. The one's that attach the linkage to the actual rotor. I think I have it covered, I bought a multi-function screw driver set (Tons of phillips, flat, and tourex bits plus a small screw driver with multiple bits). I gotit at "The Depot" for 10 bucks.

If you want, I could check tomorrow...I have a Mirafone too, and my school has a screw checker...

That'd be great. using a wrong sized flat head is not very efficient.

By the way, it's an old Mirafone...But what size are you looking for? Flathead size, or thread pitch size? Or diameter of the screw? There's all kinds of sizes you could be looking for, and if I don't know what, I can't help much...

I'm reasonably sure that the context of the OPs posts in this thread reveal that he wants to know what size Torx driver to use to drive the screws...not the thread size of the screws themselves.
Auto parts stores usually have these drivers (in 1/4" drive sockets) down to around T-6...I suspect your screws require a smaller tool than that (and smaller than those in the multi-bit screwdriver set you purchased).
