EDIT: All screws are spoken for!

I ordered some M3.5 x 5mm screws the other day. I needed 2, and they come in packs of 100.

This little oddball screw holds the coin mech to the back of the cover plate on the Asahi-Seiko KWM/740 Coin Selector, as found in Nintendo (Ninty?) titles like Donkey Kong. The screws are marked "16" in the diagram below, and there are 3 on one side and 1 on the other.

The screws I ordered are not identical to the original, but the price is right! The originals were cad plated (yellow) with slotted cheese heads, while the ones I got are zinc plated (silver) with slotted pan heads. Fit and function are identical to the original, and the heads are of course on the inside of the coin door. There's a craptastic phone pic of the original vs. new below.

I figure I better keep a few for myself just in case, so I will send 10 screws and washers to the first 9 people that PM me their address. Merry Christmas!
