Don,

There is a marvelous guy out there that WILL make replacement screws, if the demand is large enough.

Many years ago I spent 7 years trying to find someone to make early MK VI saxophone pivot screws. They are different than the later ones, having a different pitch--courser thread.

The guy is Ed Krause. He only sells to repairmen, but he is a great guy and DID make them for us.

P. s. "older than dirt"....I remember my father using loctite around '57 too.
