PEM nuts?

[Sandy Gerli]

Hi, greenies,

Boy, do I have a needle-in-the-haystack for you.

In an SB-220 I'm restoring (Lynn N0ALO will be doing the front panel), I
am missing one of the threaded inserts for one of the rear cabinet feet.
It goes on the chassis rail across the rear of the chassis. Looks to me
like one of those "PEM" nuts found in lots of rigs of that era. Heath
used gazillions of them. Yegads, guys, where would I go to find a 6-32
press-fit insert like that? Obviously, it wasn't supposed to come out,
but sure as Hurricane Dennis, it did!

I could crab up something like epoxying a 6-32 nut onto the chassis
rail, but it wouldn't be right. Anyone have an idea to help me out?

73,
