Ant, did you happen to measure diameter of both DX7 screws? The M4.2 I ordered won't fit lol ??♀?

More accurate measuring reveals the thread pitch may be 1.4mm.
A hint for inserting self-tapping screws into old plastic is to first rest the screw in the hole then back the screw out slowly until you feel it drop into the thread. Then screw it in as normal and don't over-tighten.

 

Given where it was designed and built, ALL screws on the DX-7 will be metric, not imperial.
