I will see if I can work out what thread I have.
Sounds like they will fit,
but just may not stay on if the thread is not right.
Yes. Electrically the cables are the sme, and in fact HP sodle undating
keits ocntianing just the 2 new jacksrews to convert UNC cables ot metric
ones.
If the jackposts -- the hexagonal thignn the screws go into -- on the
HP150 are black, then they';re metric. If they're nickle finsh and
genuine HP then they';re UNC. But alas there were 3rd party nickel-finish
oens that are metric.
I would be _very_ supriseed if a machine as recent as the HP150 had UNC
jackposts, thouhg.
The screws that hold UK llight switches, sockets, etc to the backboxes
(avaialbe in maost hardware shopes over here) are M3.5. So if one of
those will easily go into the jackpost on your HP150, then it's a metric
one.
