I have been to Home Depot, Lowes, NAPA, and my local hardware store and can't find these.

I am trying to restore a control panel on a Time Pilot I just picked up. I would like to replace these bolts with fresh new ones. I will just clean them up if I can't find a source I guess. Any suggestions?

Thanks
J.J.

I got mine from Bob Roberts. I also recalled ACE/True Value type places that has the aisles of small parts like those, auto clips, hooks, etc., that are in all those small part drawers.
 
We have a place in town called "Austin Bolt Supply" that carries stuff like this. Look for something similar in your area...
 
Chuck them in a drill, cup some fine wallpaper in your hand, and sand out the heads. Stick them in some cardboard and paint the heads.

If fastenall has them with smooth heads, no foundry marks, they have a location on 7th st just south of Broadway by the Honda dealership.
