finding replacement parts for the buffet b10

Hey everyone,

I haven't played clarinet since high school, and now during my senior year of college, I managed to dig it up from a storage compartment. While moving it, I managed to break the E# lever key pin, so I contacted a local music department who said that they would replace and install the thing for 30$. Although that sounds reasonable, I ended up finding a replacement part on amazon for ~$6 that worked fine.

However, all of my pads are yellowed and falling off, and while trying to replace a Misaligned Lpw-E key, I found that I was not able to screw the end screw back in, which implies bad threading on the screw or the little receptacle that it sits in. I wasn't able to find the same screw on amazon or wwbw, and a search doesn't reveal any other outlets.

The easiest option would be to go to a music store and get it fixed, but since money is tight, doing it myself seems like the only option. So, where do music stores get their parts from? Is there any website that sells specific parts? In the brief 3 years that i stopped playing, Buffet discontinued the b10, so will I have to try to re-kit the entire low-e key?
