Vinegar soak is a wonderful thing.  Or, if you know what size you need,
some of us have stashes of vintage screws which could be looked through,
but expect Galoot turn around times on that.

As far as parts go, if you've been to mprime, you should have seen this
page, with the drawing.  You didn't mention it specifically, so I'll toss
it out.

RVM (RIP) who wrote this up, did a great job, and his Emmert was a thing of
beauty, say those of  us who have seen it.  Unfortunately for posterity, I
didn't take any pix when he showed it off in 2000 at the BAGAThon hosted at
his house, and I don't see it in the 2002, expect "closed up" here

Also, Carl at MPrime used to sell parts, but I don't see that offered
explicitly anymore.
