Loose Casing

Clint

The casing on the bottom half of my Sylphyo "A" is a bit loose. It creaks a bit when I squeeze it.

You can see it in this short video I took:

Can I stop this by tightening the bolt on the underside of the Sylphyo near the bell? This one ...

If so ... what kind of a bolt is it? And can I buy it??

Yes, if the screw just loosened, you can tighten it.
There are more like it on the Sylphyo, you should check them all.

The tool is called "Torx" or TX.
Quite common. From above it looks like a star.
Mine has the size "T10" engraved.

You can buy this tools as Bits or as complete screwdrivers or as wrenches.
The sets often include unusual shapes that can help repair equipment.
If you don't have such things, I recomment a solid box with assorted bits
and a Bit holder, preferably in SAE and metric sizes.

If you feel luxurious right now, you can look on Amazon for "iFixit Manta Driver Kit".
That is quite universal for household and electronics.
Or look directly at ifixit.com

Perfect! Found the bit in the garage of the place we are renting ... 1/2 a turn did the trick ...

Thanks so much!!
