I resemble that remark! So is mine! Anyway, Dan Schultz thevillagetinker.com might be able to fix you up. He works on a lot of older Miraphones.

Yes... I have the screws that are SUPPOSED to fit. The big problem is that the screws are usually nickel and the rotor stems are brass. Guess what wears the most? Quite often... I end up tapping the rotors oversize and using larger screws.
