Off Topic Question, kinda

[Charles W. Morehouse]

Folks,
Yes you can find standard 6X32 hardware at any store  But I think that 
some of you are confused.  You will only find standard 6x32 nuts there. 
Standard nuts are 5/16 across the flats.  Heathkit used the small 6x32 
nuts.  These nuts are 1/4 across the flats and are very hard to find.  
When restoring my Heathkits, I like to keep them original.  Searching 
the web only resulted in two suppliers that had them.  Just went through 
this search. 
Mc Master-Carr  has a lot of hard to find hardware.  They also have the 
same screws that Heathkit used.  The other supplier was so small that 
they were out of the office when I called.  Luck and 73.
