Help with identifying WE 500 screws

[Charles]

Does anyone know what are the specs of the terminal screws on the WE 500 network (1962 425B )?

I have looked locally at Home Depot and Ace Hardware and they cannot identify the thread. The screws on the phone that I am currently restoring are badly corroded and each time I touch them it feels like they may crumble.

Thanks

Charles,

There are so many spare 500 bases around, I would expect that finding replacement screws would not be difficult.  Also, some of the screws on the network are not actually used, so they can be moved elsewhere.  If nobody here has any spares, ask Steve Hilsz.
