[R-390] 8-36 stainless-steel hex-socket setscrews used in the R-390A Knobs

[Scott, Barry (Clyde B)]

That was probably me.  I bought some screws that were supposed to be for the
knobs that had Bristol drives, but they turned out to be #8-32 instead of
#8-36.  The fellow I bought them from tried to get some #8-36, but no luck.

#8-36 is the standard fine thread form, but there must be about zero demand
for these.    Otherwise, I don't know why they are so rare.

Good luck,

I think this has been mentioned before on the list but I'm not sure when. 
Does anyone know of a source for the 8-36 stainless-steel hex-socket
setscrews 
used in the R-390A small and medium size knobs? The length should be 1/4".
They 
don't have to be Bristol socket, regular hex-socket will do. I tried Small 
Parts Inc. but no luck there, they don't seem to be able to special order
them 
either. Stock Drive Products don't list them. Must be a really oddball
thread 
size to order. Thanks for any leads. 73 Todd Roberts WD4NGG.
