[Elecraft] Screw Types

[Don Wilhelm]

Dick,

They are the US type.  A regular #1 Phillips is what you need.
I insert and remove a LOT of screws with my Elecraft repair work, and I 
find the Ace Hardware 'Pro' series are very good (blue handles).  I 
replace mine every 3 to 4 months, but that is because I use it so much, 
that is not normal for the average builder, all I am trying to 
communicate is that they fit the screwhead well, and do not exhibit 
extreme wear - plus they come in the 6 inch shaft length that I am used to.

73,
