I am reactivating my Amateur Radio setup and I have a J 38 morse code key installed in that setup. Unfortunately somewhere in transit from my old house, one of the two binding post brass screws came loose and fell off ( probably into the box or bag where it was stored). Where can I locate a new, original one? Any ideas?
Thanks Again

I was thinking I could make them from brass rod on my lathe, but the only knurling tool I have would create a cross-hatch pattern on the rim of the screw.

Nice of you to offer.
I am going to try and locate another J38 key, perhaps at a hamfest. If I do not succeed at that maybe the local hardware store screw selection may have something, but I am not sure.I am very fussy about my Ham equipment!!

:Which screws do you need?

:You might look in the lamp parts area of the hardware store. Sometimes they have replacement knurled items. Might be the wrong thread, but if it's a larger thread, it may be able to be re-threaded.
