Hi everyone. This is my first post. And I figured that this is the last place that I can the solution to my problem. I need to buy the screws that go at the bottom of the Super Nintendo. According to this link (http://www.amazon.com/Steel-Screwdriver-Security-Nintendo-Game/dp/B000F8GWH2), they're called "3.8 mm screws". However , no hardware store seems to have them.

Would anyone know of a place where I can purchase these things? I'm trying to give my old SNES to my nephew for his Bday, but the thing is just so wobbly now that 3 of the 6 are missing.

Thing is, I've been to every major hardware store in the city. And apparently, these things don't exist. So, I was hoping someone would know about some retro site that sells these rare Super Nintendo 3.8 mm screws.

Can you just widen the hole and put a different, similar sized screw in there instead? Or why not just super glue it closed?

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
