G&L L-2000 Tribute: missing screw from tuner. Does it affect tun

[Lluis_99]

I bought a second hand G&L L-2000 Tribute and one screw from the tuner is missing. I cannot find a proper replacement, no matter how hard I try. Bear in mind that I'm from Spain and I cannot buy from Allparts® - Guitar and Bass Parts Supplier. However, I don't know whether this affects the tuning of the string or not. If it doesn't affect the tuning, I won't care to change it, but I don't know.

What are your thoughts? Thank for your help!

The tuner will still turn and probably tune but that screw affects the tension or amount of effort needed to turn the tuner. It also holds everything together. If it’s a Tribute the screw is probably metric. If you remove one of the others a hardware store or industrial hardware place will probably have one.
