Anyone know where to find these?
I found stainless steel phillips head screws at Ace hardware that work fine but I'm trying to match the original flat head screws that look like maybe they're chrome plated?

I need 4 of them.

Well Ivan; those Flat Head screws(looks great) are a "replacement" as Sho~Bud always used Phillip Head Pickup Screws.
If they didn't have them at Ace; you may need to look in Older Hardware Stores like "True Value Hardware"...etc.

Thanks Ricky.

Both this 1987 Super Pro as well as the 1991 Pro-I have these flat head screws.
Is it possible Sho Bud started using them later in the game?

I'll go with phillips head for functionality but I do like the look of the flat head ones.
They have a nice flat profile on the top.

Oh YES indeed; I'm sure that's a great point. I never followed Sho~Bud after Shot passed in mid-80's
I'm Sure Fred Gretsch kept the Sho~Bud going as close to original as possible.
