SP-1, SG-1, CS-1, BF-2, OD-1, DS-1, TW-1, GE-6, PH-1, NF-1, CE-2.
I dont believe that DM-2 with a silverscrew is the original screw for that pedal. From what I�ve seen it seems like silverscrews dissapeared in 1980. |

I've also seen DM-2s, PH-1Rs and SD-1s with silver screws but whether they're original is undetermined.
They're definitely not common. |

| Is it safe to assume that all the early silverscrew pedals also had the monumentory switch? |

No, I don't think so but it's close. My CE-2 schematic dated Oct. 20 1979 shows the momentary LED circuit while my BF-2 schematic dated Jul 7 1980 does not.
I suspect all the pedals Sunburst mentioned exists with the momentary LED but those are the only ones. |

There might be some pedals made in the transitionperiod that has silverscrews that normally shouldnt have them. Perhaps Boss wanted to empty their supplies...
I doubt however that silverscrews were used as late as 1982.
Yes, I think one can assume that a pedal with the momentary led also is eqiupped with a silverscrew. Then of course the momentary leds dissapeared much earlier than the silverscrew did. |

| Interesting. This silver screw looks like it might be the original one for that pedal. I havent seen the combination of silverscrew and sixdigit serial before. |

| just wanna ask something. are there two types of silver screw? the first is like the black screw and the other silver screw version is the one where there is a space in the middle of the thumbscrew where a screw driver can fit. right? |

I've only seen the type with a slot but I know Goran mentioned that he had one that looked like the black screw so it is possible that both types exist.
What does the bottom plate say on those pedals pedals with non slotted silver screws? Use a coin to open... or unscrew using your fingers...? |

As for the different silver screw I had on my HM-2 I am sure it is a fake.
DM-2 with silverscrew can be seen in Dave Hunters book in the section about Boss pedals. This is of course no proof thet they exist. |

I have that book too, and have seen that DM-2. It could be that a few silver screws was left in stock and put on early DM-2 pedals from 1981. I guess we will just have to see and pinpoint the period and serial numbers on pedals with silver screws to get a more exact date to when they definately dissapeared.
If there are silverscrews on a few DM-2 pedals there should be some PH-1r pedals out there with silver screws aswell... |

Maniacally, it�s the same screw, exactly the same, this is strange...
Has anybody else seen or heard of this type of screw??
I�ll check what the label says about thumb or coin tonight. |
