IBM SCREWS wanted!

[gerrydoire]

I'm looking for something that someone may have, the screws that came with the
IBM 5150, the case and the cards, I have 3 5150's missing many of the
original screws, so if anyone has of these for sale, email me

Got a pic? Sure would help. I've seen different screws in those machines so you need to be more specific as to exactly what you're looking for.

Not that shipping would be very much, but it would be nice to know your location.

I think the topic of the small hex-head screws has come up before and someone was going to investigate a possible (bulk) source. Did anything ever come of that?

(When I read the topic, I said to myself "I didn't know that IBM ran prisons..." )

Good question!

If you mean the Slotted Hex Head Bolts like this:

I've got some.

No, the original 5150 bolts were 6-32, hex washer-head with a slot, but the head was, I think 3/16, not 1/4". I suspect that they were IBM custom jobs.

I think so; they used them in many of their models and I've got all sorts of them, at least three different diameters/heads and three different colours (silver, black and blue).
