Re: finding replacement parts for the buffet b10

To determine whether the problem is the screw or the post (post = what you called receptacle), very carefully check how the screw threads into other posts and check other similar screws in the post. It's not clear if you mean the right hand low E key, or the left hand lever for that key. the former uses pivot screws, the latter uses a rod screw, so only check with screw and posts that are the same.

Pivot screws should all be the same on a B10, rod screws are probably too (except the first finger combination rod-pivot one) but I can't remember for sure. So if it's the left hand key on a rod screw check e.g. the left hand F# lever which uses the same type of rod screw. Carefully because one of them may be damaged and stripped the other.

If the problem is one area of the threads of the screw is bent, etc. then it might just need to pass it through a die to repair it. Same for the post using a tap, but with some posts it's a little tricky (especially the left hand pinky levers). Since it's hard to thread this is a likely possibility. If the threads are stripped then more often than not it would be easier to thread, actually continue to spin after it's supposed to tighten.
