Brass screw upgrade for STTE communicators.

[Unfated]

OK, I found the correct screws to buy if you want to upgrade the screws on the back of your
Star Trek the Experience communicator. I wanted my STTE comm to be a bit more screen
accurate, but could not find the screws. I originally bought the screen used type screws, but they
are much to small for the STTE comm. The screws to fit are (#4-40 x 3/8 Slotted, Oval Head, Machined
Screws in Brass). They fit perfectly! I got them from https://www.fastenal.com

That's pretty cool. Not something I want to pay $9 for at the moment but good to know in case another alternative opens up.

Just wanted to follow up.

I decided i was ready to do the upgrade. Fastenal no longer has them for direct sales. That sort of worked to my advance as I was forced to order them through the local Fastenal retailer. So instead of $9, they cost me $2.

FYI to anyone else wanting the screws: I looked everywhere on line for an alternate source and could not find them except for Fastenal.

@Unfated - Thanks for doing the leg work.
