Unertl / Lyman scope parts screws

Does anyone know a source for a reticule carrier for a Lyman STS. I need one and the screws for the x-hairs and mounting screws. Does anyone know the size and thread pitch ??
I'm using dental floss unraveled to one filamant- same with kevlar thread. I loosened the x-hair screws too much- when I pulled it to tighten the screw went flying.Impossible to find in carpet.. even with a vaccum Angry

Maybe try a strong magnet?  Can't help with the screws - sorry.  Good luck!
Regards, Joe

2nd Joe's post. A cow magnet from the local feed store works good for small screws and pins, etc, when they get lost in the carpet.

try a piece of nylon stocking between the hose & the tube, then do some aggressive vacuuming.      ...MIKE...

Did the magnet thing with some really strong rare earth magnets- no joy did find a bunch of staples and a spring or two- I cut open & searched the contents of a mew vacuum bag - nothing but dirt-I ordered some 00 and 000 brass screws- no fit- tore up some old wrist watches(the wind up kind)- found no screws that would work-May just put a wooden peg in. I have a friend that is a watchmaker - he is gonna bring me some more screws.. I hope.
