screwed

[Lynn Rosenberg]

Well, at least in Rochester New York, they're is a place called Mr. Screw.
They sell you any type of fastener you might need.  I needed button head
bolts for Everett studio pianos once, and Yamaha wanted $1.50 a piece.  Went
to a local hardware store showed them the item in question and he told me to
go to Mr. Screw.  Went they're went up to the counter, showed him the bolt,
and he came back with a box of 100.  Cost was only $7.  Hopefully they're is
a place in you're community that sells the same item in question.  Lynn
