[R-390] Another glaringly obvious 390A question for the hypothetical newbie

A newbie, all aglow from receiving his first ever R-390A from Ebay  
but wanting to find something to replace the rusted screws in the  
front panel of his new radio emails the list and asks --

"Is there a list of the sizes of hardware used on this radio?  I need  
to replace the rusty ones on my front panel, and several other screws  
around the radio are missing too."

Where would you send him for a list that has a breakdown of what  
sizes of screws are used where on the front panel, and what are the  
common sizes used elsewhere?

I'm asking this from a person's view who has never seen one of these  
radios before, and while probably has a manual on the way it hasn't  
arrived yet.

Myself I keep a well-labeled assortment.
