Yes. Agreed.
For us non US folks, Ebay is your easiest source of those types of screws.
I actually bought shiny stainless steel ones for my AL-1500.
I also bought a set of three 6/32 taps as I had a couple of the original
screws busted off. I filed the stubs flat with the chassis and then was
lucky enough to drill them out cleanly. A quick follow through with the
bottoming tap and I was back in business.

Just use a simple 6x32 sae screw about 1/4 “ long with a Phillips head in black oxide.
Don’t bother with the Allen head it’s a PITA.

Hello to the group,
I have a Command technologies VHF1200 6m amp.
The amp itself is fine, but it's and I'm not the first owner, and I know it
has seen some 'issues' over the years. Thus the covers have been off & on a
few times. As such the screws are worn and I'd like to replace them. I'm
talking about the little allan screws. They might be made of brass (or
chocolate) as the allan holes are worn out, so they are next to useless.
Does anyone know what thread size these might be please?
