HI, Skip:

There are actually a couple of lengths originally, but I use primarily 1/4" long 3-48 Binder 
Head screws.

I have to run to Spokane today to another doctor appointment, but will include a bunch of 
screws, nuts and lock-washers when I send you the dynamotor base later this week

Sorry for the delay, but I have had a very "interesting" run with medical issues over the past 
couple of months.

Ha ha! To me, that is debateable when the receivers are working correctly. About the only 
area where modern receivers beat our old ones is in dial accuracy and resettability.
