I was very lucky to find a Detrola model 193 in working condition this weekend. Even the electric tuning all works. The cabinet has zero finish left on it (working on that now) and it is missing one speaker mounting screw. It is one of the brass or bronze screws with the fancy flowery head that is visible from the front of the cabinet. I can rob one of my less spectacular radios for that screw, but first I thought I would ask if anyone knows of a source.

Bruce,
Sometimes you can find those screws in a well stocked local hardware store in the lamp parts area, but usually not the big chains. As I recall they have no screw driver slot either.

Bruce: Is your missing screw similar to the ones Antique Electronic Supply carries? Look on page 76, under hardware. Mark from Kalamazoo

I am always impressed by the knowledge available on this Forum, but phsychic powers are unexpected. Mark form Kalamazoo knew I had the 2007-2008 AES catalog, and even gave me the page number to find exactly the right screws. I bow to all of the site wizards! (oh, and thanks)
