Skip,

I happen to have one on the bench here now. The screws are knurled thumb screws
and the originals were chrome or cad plated, I believe.  The ones on this radio
are unfinished brass.  They are 6-32 threads.

McMaster Carr is likely the best source,

Part Number:  92421A148  $12.33 per Pack of 25  Brass
Stainless ones are cheaper


but Small Parts in FL will also have them (at higher prices no doubt).

Part no TSB-0632-08  $8.80 for ten

The above ones are 6-32 1/2 inch thread length.. Check what you need but I think
this is the right size.
