Does anyone know of a source for the screws with a decorative head that Philco used back in the early to mid thirties to mount speakers? The only lead I found did not reply to an email and I would really like to have a set of them to finish off a model 610.

Thanks
Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.

Go to the Philco Library (tab located at top of Philco Phorum, just under the Phorum name). Find RESOURCES - CATAGORIZED. The second category listed is Philco cabinets & Cabinet parts. The first name listed is Steve Davis. Those screws are listed in the information. There is a hot link in this post to email him.
