Source of New Slotted Wood Screws
By Craig Smith

Jason Balcom cannot find a seller of new slotted wood screws.  He
should try McMaster-Carr at http://www.mcmaster.com/  They have a
bazillion screws and other things of interest, and they offer great
shipping.  I heartily recommend them.

Another approach is to de-rust the ones you have.  Get a bottle of
Evapo-Rust at AutoZone and soak them overnight.  Scrub them off in the
morning and you're good to go.  If you want them shinier, rub them on
320/400/600 SC paper and then buff to a nice shine.

P.S.  Jason writes, "I am willing to do business with any technician
able to sell me a few of his loose screws."  This is just too tempting
to pass up.  *G*  I'm sure that you can find a piano technician who is
willing to sell you a few of his loose screws.  Most of them have a few
loose screws after years of fixing player pianos and sniffing hide
glue.
