Good Morning! Does anyone have a favorite source for radio hardware like nuts, bolts, screws, lock- and star-washers? I have spent the morning (snowed-in with the car stuck in the driveway!) looking at the usual suspect web-sites with no luck. Alternately, if someone has the general sizes needed, I can try the local hardware again without getting glazed stares when I mention radio hardware. I appreciate any and all assistance. Thanks, Joe

Antique Electronic Supply has quite a bit of hardware on its site but I usually try my local Ace or True Value first.

Thanks Bob. I'd seen these, but I'm hardware challenged and really couldn't figure if these would be compatible with radio chassis. I was hoping that one of the radio suppliers had an assortment pack. Maybe I'll take a few to the Depot or Ace and try my luck. Joe

It depends on what hardware you are looking for but small machine screws, nuts, washers and the like are often compatible.

I also like to browse our local hardware store. Most good hardwares will have a row with bins full of sorted nuts, bolts, washers, etc. and you can browse for what you're looking for and fill up little bags with as much or as little as possible. While looking around I'll usually find a few other things I didn't realize I needed like adhesives, chemicals, a unique tool, etc..
Our city only has one real hardware store left and if it ever closes it will be a sad day, for while the big box stores have hardware, most of it is in blister packs and the selection is limited.
If you know the sizes you're looking for McMaster-Carr has a pretty impressive on-line selection:

http://www.mcmaster.com/# John, Thanks for the McMaster-Carr tip. I found everything I was looking for and at a very good price, and free shipping. It is gratifying to know the Philco Phorum membership! Joe

I always remove screws, nuts, and anything that could possibly be of use before bringing anything to the trash. Now after many years,I have an awful lot of stuff, and I'm always sure I have just what I need........IF I CAN FIND IT.
