Bulk Screws

[Pop Bumper Pete]

I needed to change the plunger in one of the VUK on my Earthshaker
The screws holding the coil bracket were done up too tight, thus I had to ruin the screws to get it apart

So I am now short the needed screws

I have tried the hardware stores
I tried a specialty bolt shop
Neither had anything close

I am also tired of paying a premium price getting them in parts orders from the states

Is there a place I can order from to get bulk screws for my games?
(Yes, I know I will still be ordering from the USA)

Thanks
Pete

Mate,

Keep on with the speciality nut and bolt shops... many of the chain store nut and bolt centres all have the same generic stuff. I have a little guy down the road that has been going for about 30 years... in the back he has a whole host of imperial screws etc. Sometimes i have to cut them down ( put nut on first then cut) but he has never let me down yet.. managed to rebuild the whole leaf switch stack in the header of bank A Ball thanks to this guy ( every screw was missing)... Bought approx 100 imperial screws with pan heads for about $5.
I find its the same with small old electronic shops... often those that have been in business for 20+ years have NOS 6821PIA.. 6800 CPU Z80 etc... ive even found 5101 RAM in these shops and promptly bought the lot

Have you tried Hong Kong Hardware?
We have one of these stores in Adelaide and they have so much stuff and the guys that work there can pinpoint the location of every nail, screw, or nut at a moments notice.
You never know you might get lucky
