Hi guy's I am starting to restore a model 70, the escutcheon is in great condition but it is missing the brads that hold it to the radio. Where can I find some to match the original ones.

Thanks
I probably will have other questions about this radio in the future.

Hopefully someone will have a more specific answer but I would go to a local hardware, one of those places that has stuff everywhere and a guy that's about 90 years old still working there that knows where everything is.... they don't have many of those anymore but you might find something.
