The screws may be bought from Small Parts, Inc.  The 1/4" 3-48 screws 
are P/N MX-0348-04B-C.  The shorter, 3/16 ones are P/N MX-0348-03B-C. 
They come in packs of 100 ea.

Most of those funny little screws are missing...as with most of these I 
have seen (not really so very many). My R-23 is the only one I have seen 
with *ALL* the screws. I'll be shopping for those and some touch up 
paint. I'll make a new cover. The socket in the front was removed in 
this modified radio but the socket in the back is still there. I will be 
acquiring the needed pins to fabricate plugs so I can integrate the 
radio into my station without chopping it up any more than was already 
done. I'll also be diffing into the documents I have here - some written 
by other list members. Thanks to all the people who have testified on 
this list about these radios. I can see that I am going to have fun. To 
think I was considering totally abandoning vacuum tubes! And now...back 
to 40 meters... 73, Bill KU8H
