Big ol' slotted pan or binder (can't recall which) head screws are
original from the factory. Sounds like you were looking for the kind
sometimes used for rack mounting. I almost think that earlier models
only had side screws and none across the top. My A model has the two
top screws.

I believe they used these same screws on other models of the time like
the S-27 or S-36. Shouldn't be too difficult to find the correct size.
