[ARC5] SCR-274 series screws question

[hwhall@aol.com]

 I'm looking at McMaster's website & I don't see any mention of 3-48 brass plated screws. Just brass, no mention of finish. Is their search tool that bad?

BTW, if you need these 3-48 slotted plated brass screws, they are available in both black and nickel from McMaster-Carr.

Hi, Dave!  The screws I'm looking at are all the externally visible ones, when everything is assembled.  They don't appear to have been put on randomly -- the darker ones I've noticed so far are only those securing that "top cover" underneath the rim of the front panel plate (the top cover has slots to allow removal of the cover without fully extracting the darker screws).  It looked like they might have been deliberately done.  But if it's likely not original, then I don't have to consider whether to have darker screws at the ready.

If you remove the top cover of a 274N (or ARA, ARC-5)
  receiver, you see an internal shield over the tuning
capacitor.
The black screws bypass the top cover and screw
into receptacles holding this internal shield in place.
By removing just the "silver" screws, you can pull
the top cover without disturbing the internal shield.
Receivers which have been disassembled and reassembled
are often put back together with mixed screws.
