Buffet Alto Clarinet Rod & Pivot Screws

Author: Klarnt

So Ive got myself an old Buffet Alto Clarinet, and based on the serial (19860) Im guessing its from around 1954?

Its my first time even working on an instrument. The many rusty stripped screws have really complicated things. At some point somebody in the past really stripped several rod/pivot screws, and its honestly a miracle I got these things out. Some of these rod screws are so stripped that I cannot fathom putting them back in.

Ive done a little bit of searching and have only found some replacement pivot screws for the soprano but none for Alto. Where on earth do I find replacement parts for Alto rods and pivot screws? Are these things standardized or does every company and model do things differently?
