Julia Gottschall said: "Removing the remaining 2, (of 4) 5/16" diameter x 2 3/4" long screws resulted in a search for replacements only to find they are no longer made" Julia, It would be nice if you would give the screw size, instead of "5/16" diameter x 2 3/4"". According to my Screw Gauge, the screw size is either #19 or #20. More than likely #20. This is why I salvage olde clunker pianos. I suggest you ALL do the same. It is a great source for these "obsolete" screws. However, a decent Hardware Store can still get this size screw. You'll just have to buy 100 of the puppies! I have at least 50 of them in my junk yard. <G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
