I need a few 8-32 and 4-40 black, round head screws for mounting
instruments. Does any one know where I can get these? I can't find any
in the Spruce catalog.

Try Wicks. I had no problems finding them there.

Try http://www.mcmaster.com/
In the "Fastening and Sealing" section on the main page click on "Machine
Screws". Under the "Material" section of that page you'll see a link for
"Black-Oxide". From there you have the option of selecting a pan-head screw
and they do have them in 8-43 and 4-40 and various lengths.
I just love McMaster-Carr. These folks have one of the best websites I
have encountered for finding what they do and do not have in stock. IMHO.

You can't get to the part number online at Spruce (went through
this just recently). Someone helped me out on this list - try
searching the archive. If that doesn't work - let me know I
have the part number on an invoice at home which I can get for
you tomorrow.

Home Depot, ACE, etc. Unless you have to worry about
ferrous metals, of course. I used SS ones and had no
issues with magnetic interference. The brass ones are
very soft too, and the paint comes off easily..

Tom,
The easiest solution is to get some stainless ones at
the local hardware store and paint them. Very easy.
Punch a bunch of holes in a piece of cardboard using a
suitably size tool and stick the screws partway in.
Paint whatever color you like. (I used satin black
Krylon) Paint more than you need so you have some
spares.
I used SS socket head cap screws from
www.microfasteners.com (there is a lot of screws in a
panel and their prices are fair, plus they ran the 100
deg stainless Torx fasteners specially for the
RV'ers.)
Mike
