You might try some of the real electronic distributors in the area. {Not
the RS kind} The 10-24 x 3/4 or the 10-32 x 3/4 are both standard rack
screw sizes. Usually found in a oval head, nickel plated Phillips or slot
drive. GC Electronics did package these years ago. Today, they'd cost you
an arm and a leg for a box. Lowe's has finishing washers or cup washers in
their hardware department. Likely $0.79 for a package of 4 to 6 pcs.
Yea, $3 seems like a good deal considering the price of gas and having to
drive to and from the hardware store. While you are at it, order a few
extra's.

Funny thing is that if you do actually figure in people's time, the
actual shipping cost including padded envelope or box (they can't just
put a large screw in a #12 envelope), actual postage (all "hard"
costs), and rate, plus a small margin, to deliver to your door exactly
the item you want, $3 may start looking VERY good.
