Screwing off!

So for the past several days, I have also been chasing down a set of resonator screws which apparently are harder to find than a piece of hay in a stack of needles. But found something quite close. Turns out, I needed something closer to metric than I thought. 4 mm screw 5/8ths in length. Even the local hardware store (which I had complete faith in having everything imaginable in stock). But I resorted to buying stainless steel button head machine screws. Which turned out to be at least 3 times cheaper than the chrome screws I had purchased. (4 chrome buttonheads: 11 dollars. 4 stainless steel button heads: 3 dollars). So, now I have my screw and I will have yet to cut them down to size.
