[GreenKeys] Teletype 6-40 screws & nuts

[John W9DDD]

Let's see if I can cover all the comments.

I currently have small quantities of the more common lengths and heads which I acquired since my initial search.  

I guess my point was check those envelopes before pitching them.  

I had forgotten MxMaster-Carr.  I've seen original Teletype screws on eBay at times.  (Wonder what happened to the guy that listed a bunch of small parts in the original Teletype envelopes?). 

Yes Paul has them.  Whenever I order something, I always make sure to get all the hardware that goes with it.  

If you like original appearance, it hard to substitute anything else. 


John, W9DDD
