Proposed Heath WWW Reference Source

[Freiberger,John]

        The reference would be a great resource to those of us still using
 Heath Kit products.  By the way, older kits used a special screw for
 attaching sub-modules components and enclosures to a main chassis.   A
  flat that is axial to the threads has a  hole therein for fastening
 the screw  to an adjacent component or sub-module wall.  The threads
 then pass through a mating hole on the chassis to receive a washer and
 nut assembly thereunder.   Does anyone know:
1.) The name of these types of screws; and
2.)   A mail-order house where they can be purchased.

I don't think it's so much a case that Heath turned its back on the ham
fraternity.  As I recall, when Zenith bought Heath, the small business
mentality was replaced by the usual corporate greed.
