Hi Bob. if that is all it is, it is almost too easy, forget the broken thumb screw, go to the local hardware or NAPA or? and get a 6 32 tap and proper size drill and just drill and tap a new hole somewhere and use a 6 32 screw ( of any type) if you are fussy use a allen head, then if you are like me you forget where you put the allen wrenchs when you need them. However, I have now solved that problem, I have so much crap duplicated and lost that I can now find anything anytime. The other thing, if stripped you can probably run the next size right in the same hole. back when, someone had some brains, that is why there are 6/32, 8/32 and 10/32 threads. I am almost positive that those are 6/32 so just run in an 8/32 tap and use the larger screw. you will need a tap holder also and just be careful starting it and back it out a bit every half turn or so. If repair of a BIG AM xmter is not part of this group, then I do not know what is.
