It appears time to send this out again. Here's the pitch - contact me 
off-list at jamminpower at earthlink.net:

I am pleased to offer two bags of NEW MANUFACTURE Stainless-Steel set screws 
for the R-390 and R-390A line of fabulous vintage vacuum-tube shortwave 
receivers. There is one bag of 20 pieces of the 3/8", 8-36, 6-point Bristol 
spline set screws (full-cup end) and one bag of 20 pieces of the 1/4", 8-36, 
6-point Bristol spline set screws (also full-cup end). I got tired of trying 
to scrounge vintage set screws and had a bunch of these made up. They still 
have the machining oil on them. They fit the R-390/R-390A knobs perfectly. 
Yes, I know the original used a 3/16" length rather than 1/4", but I had 
trouble with the shorter ones - I kept cross-threading them - so I had mine 
made 1/4". Works great.

$25 includes shipping in CONUS. More for foreign. Modest discount for 
quantity. PayPal preferred. Check or money order accepted.
