Which screws?
I don't suppose anybody knows what size screws are used on the VIC-20 for holding the keyboard in, fastening the motherboard to the case and keeping the case closed? I've got a VIC-20 with The Wrong Sized Screws, as evidenced by them having smashed up everything that they screw into, so I've got some rebuilding work to do, and I'm "reluctant" to use the screws that came out (and I also suspect that the screws where assisted on their journey of destruction by an electric screwdriver). Sigh.

Re: Which screws?
The two BOMs in the VIC-20 Technical Manual (for the 2-prong/CR mainboard revisions) list quite a lot of M3 screws, albeit with different lengths.
