Birchwood Casey 'Brass Black" available from gun dealers, Amazon, etc. Title: Re: Screws...................... Post by: RolandSWL on January 12, 2017, 12:45:46 PM Sorry for the lack of information. I need a bunch of screws for ARC-5 stuff. I think they are 3-48, 1/4", slotted binder head, black brass or black oxide coated.
Thanks! Title: Re: Screws...................... Post by: KE5YTV on January 12, 2017, 02:55:00 PM Roland, There is a lot of ARC 5's with missing screws. Please let us know what you find.

Post by: W2JBL on January 12, 2017, 08:02:19 PM Fair radio sales in Lima Ohio is still the best provider of ARC-5 parts. I called them last summer and bought a big bag of assorted ARC-5 screws. Note that they come in different head sizes, lengths and finishes but all are 3-48 and they have the star washers too. Give them a call and you will get the right stuff.
