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

[Cecil Acuff]

I'd give him Walter Wilsons Email address and have him order a hardware kit. 
It comes with all the stainless hardware you see on the front panel. I don't 
think you can go just anywhere and buy the conical lock washers.   Elsewhere 
in the radio standard stainless hardware available at any good hardware 
store should be fine...a lot of it is stuff like 6-32 or 8-32 sizes if I 
remember correctly...
