[GreenKeys] Teletype 6-40 screws & nuts

[Joe Duszyński]

My Ace store here by my house carries 6-40 NF along with 6-32 NC
They also have the taps and the dies and 6-48 NEF which are "Extra Fine".
The HWI "Do IT" hardware dealer that is downtown also carries odd screws.
I'd even bet that dealer would have some actual Teletype screws! LOL! They
have been in business for over 100 years and it never ceases to amaze me
what that store has.
.
Just because they are affiliated with a national chain doesn't
necessarily mean they don't carry certain screws it kinda depends on the
hardware store
and their clientele.
