Looking for screws [?] that hold plate to cabinet to all machine to tilt up. Anyone have any or know where I can find them? NONE of my Edison screws fit! Some kind of odd diameter or thread or both! Thanks for any help.

Not sure about the mounting screws, but your Amberola is a C-VI, not a C-V1. Roman numerals are letters (I, V, X, L, C, M). 1 is an Arabic numeral (1,2,3, etc.).

They're called drive screws, or screw nails https://www.mcmaster.com/products/drive ... ew-nails~/
There will be no threads in the holes. The pins are just a tight fit and are driven in with a small hammer.

Some people have also used escutcheon pins.

Thanks appreciate your feedback - will keep looking as my case holes do have threads and likely the frame was "unscrewed" from it before I got this machine!

Since you posted a picture of the nameplate and stated that you need two screws to hold it in, I thought the "screws" you were wanting to replace were the ones that hold the nametag on. Okay then, never mind the drive screw suggestion. Those are what holds the nametag on.
