This is a VERY routine task, and any experienced repair tech should be able
to do this easily. Perhaps you didn't check with local repair shops? - Lars

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.

Kurt

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