looking for a screw (ON topic...really!)

If anyone has them they will be in those pull out drawers with all the
compartments. Did you try Ace?

It's called a binding post. Home Depot and Lowe's have them on the fasteners
aisle, in the pull-out trays. You should be able to find them at *any*
hardware store such as Ace or Tru-Value, or an independent mom-and-pop. Just
find an employee with gray hair, and ask him to show you where they are.

Thanks...nice to know what it's called!

I'll try Ace again...and the Borgs, as well.
