  I just checked out the "boltdepot" thingee. One problem...they do not =
offer plain Steel screws, only Zinc Plated! Yikes! It's been my =
experience that Zinc Plated tend to strip out, as the plating "dulls" =
the threads. If anyone has a contact for Schadler, I'd definately be =
interested. I spoke to him at the last national, but he was a bit =
evasive and non-commital, when I told him of my wanting to continue to =
get Quality screws from him. As he's a bit odd, he only was interested =
in promoting the piano covers thing. go figger! I hope he reconsiders.
