Switchboards Charging No. 5C Mk I Canadian
While looking at all the missing brass terminal screws on the backs of the switches, I took a spare wall receptacle I had on hand and removed one of its brass terminal screws out of curiosity. The thread, and thread length were identical to the terminal screws on the switchboard switches. The pan head on the modern receptacle is about 1/16-inch narrower in diameter and the modern one is set up for slotted, Robertson or Phillips screwdrivers. So, in a pinch, I could go that route if I can track down a source of supply for just these brass pan head screws. But then part of my brain tells me I might spend as much time looking for the modern screws as I might if I searched for the original style on line.
Food for thought, and if anybody has any ideas for finding this style of brass, pan head slotted screw, please let me know. They are an 8-32 thread.
