| RetroJames:
Anyone ever seen one of these? I tried home depot and ace with no luck on a bit to turn it. |

You need a security torx tool or bit. http://www.mpja.com/productview.asp?product=12578+TL Good luck! APf |

Correct, security torx. But when I run into oddball screws that I don't need to save, I use a Dremel with a cutoff bit to cut a slot in the head so I can use a flat head screwdriver to remove it. You could also do this if you wanted to replace the screw with a standard pan head or round head machine screw. Might make it easier in the future if you ever have to take it apart again and don't want to scrounge for a torx security bit. |

i dont think he could get a dremel in there without cutting up his stick. I have a universal drill bit used for stripped screws that sometimes works on stuff like that. i bought it at sears. it basically digs in to teh screw and unscrews it. |

Security Torx screws are pretty common on arcade cabs. I'd grab a bit set or folding tool (see above link) for the next time you encounter a security Torx screw. APf |
