Just the shadow me thinks, it's so small if it was off centre it wouldn't be on at all.

wiz,

Nice job mate. It might just be the piccy but that tip doesn't look like it on straight and wil therefore score the barrel or eventually snap off too.

Well, I soldered the tip back on, instead of bottoming the screw & tuning out 2 1/2 turns, I'll measure how far out the next one is & use that as a default, that way there will be no strain on the tip, fingers xed.

Fred, I opened it on the desk in the study, I have just dissected the cotton wool & the tip IS there, anyone ever soldered on back on ?

What the #@!*&

That screw had a tip on it when I sent it mate. As you know I even wrapped it in cotton wool and zip bagged it.
I only have one more left and I'll need to keep it for a spare myself.

Just for interest, check inside the cotton wool. If the tip is there then I'll make a claim with Aust Post for damages. If it isn't then its on your garage floor and I don't know why.

wiz, u might need to jump on ebay,
look for a fellar by the name of georgefix,
itll probably be cheaper to buy kits than buying
the mixture screws seperately, 
i dont think yamaha has any left as a guy i know
apparently bought the last 4 in aus, that was a cpl of years
ago now and they werent cheap.

Nice try, Fred, but the one you sent doesn't have a tip either, it's the one on the right, my original is in the middle. Wiz.
