Brownell's does gun screws, and McMaster-Carr seems to have about everything, but I really need to find a place that has what I need in stock so I can go there with the microscope parts and find out what fits. Or buy assortments. A dozen of each size from 1-12 machine screws from Brownell's is around $20, which isn't bad, but money is kind of tight here. I've spent quite a chunk on medical stuff SWMBO and me in the past year. Somewhere in all this stuff I have a small package of tiny taps we got for something SWMBO wanted to try years ago. I want to find them and add them to my collection, and then maybe I can make my own screws, if push comes to shove. And before I can go to Ace, I need to find the microscope body. It's here under one of the piles, somewhere...
