Thanks all, this is the information I needed.

My solution is always to bring one screw with me to the hardware store - and I favor stores that specialize in screws to ensure that they have access to a wide variety - and have them check the thread size. Home Depot actually has test-fit gauges hanging near their screws, and you can just try the samples until you find a fit.

Repairing my Oberheim Matrix-12, I noticed that the screw lengths were in between the common sizes carried. Thus, the easy retail options were too long to fit, or too short to be secure. I had to go to a commercial screw supplier to get the exact size that Oberheim used. Oberheim did use a standard size, of course, but the Home Depot simply omitted every other length to reduce their stocking costs. I don't know whether the Pro-One has the most common lengths or if you'll have a challenge, but if you start your search at a professional screw reseller, then you shouldn't be disappointed.
