Anyone need #10-32 screws / rack nuts?

[DCMagnuson at aol.com]

My local surplus store just got a load of #10-32 phillips-head screws.  This 
is the same size screw that's used in most equipment racks (SKB, etc).  
They're satin-grey colored (or should that be *coloured* now that the Brits 
have assumed control of the US? <g>)  I assume it's a galvanized finish.

They also have a dab of blue lock-tite on the threads.  Cranking the screw in 
is a little difficult, but they seem to hold a little better because of the 
lock-tite.  I generally start them by hand, and finish them with my cordless 
drill to save wear on my wrists ;).   No probs so far.

Also, they have the #10-32 metal "clip-on" nuts that are also used in SKB 
racks.  These are gold anodized, but otherwise identical to the ones SKB 
ships with their cases.

They sell each of these at the surplus store for $3 a bag... probably fits 
approx 50 in a bag.  A single bag can also be mixed with nuts and bolts.  I 
don't know how long the piles will remain, however, due to the nature of the 
surplus business.

If there seems to be enough need for these on the list, I'll run down and buy 
a bunch and mail them out to you guys.  A rough estimate would be $5 or $6 
for about 2 dozen each of nuts/bolts (or 4 dozen of one type) including 
shipping within the US.  I know SKB-brand replacements are expensive ($4+s/h 
for 24 screws, nuts are more), and I've never seen these captive nuts 
anywhere else.  Email me off-list if you'd like some... give me an approx. 
number of each piece you'd like.
