Good Source for Screws and Fasteners

Post by MarkELynch »

If you can’t locate original hardware here is a source for some common and some hard to find machine screws, wood screws and fasteners. They even have a section entitled “Phonograph Screws” but it isn’t clear why. Nevertheless, there are many choices of fasteners with different finishes, materials, head type. Most are available with a slotted head as found on our old phonos.

Since shipping for small numbers of screws is multiple times their cost, I ordered a large variety of nickel plated slotted wood screws years ago. But like always, the screw you need is the one you don't have :x

I’m reposting this hardware source for those that may not have seen it. Most recently they added some 5-40 slotted set screws that are suitable for Edison top works. They are nickel plated and slightly shorter but are a good substitute is old stock can’t be located.
