Escutcheon screw question - Radioroslyn - 08-10-2017

Am trying to source some escutcheon screws for my 41-300. Pretty sure that Philco used the same small screws on most of there escutcheons thru the 30's and early 40's. Older ones where painted black.
Anyway I don't have an accurate way to measure the diameter. My best guess is a number 3 but not sure. Anyone know what it is??

As luck would have it I was digging around for some 6pin tube socket for someone and found a small bag the wood screws suitable for this application. They are #2 x 3/8" long, brass round slotted head. Hillman pn 49114. Good match for the originals except that the bottom of the head isn't tapered it's flat.

No one will know.

And we won't tell.
And we will even ask Sam to delete this thread.

What kind of horrible person would give you a radio without escutcheon screws! Shame!
