Substitute case screws from ebay.

I'll post this here on the off chance that someone is struggling like i did to find proper case screws.

I found some 50x3mm self-tappers that perfectly replace the ones in my Panasonic rx c60. They are silver and the threaded part is longer, but they do the job.

Here on ebay:

Pardon our interruption...

Or search for:

Screws Self Tap 3mm x 50mm Pitch 0.50mm Per 20

Great find!
My biggest issue is with extremely brittle posts that break when I look at them

JB Weld and I have become good friends over the years......

Those heads look smaller than the original. Might be a risk of breaking through the end of the screw post.

You're right. They are just over a millimeter smaller. I have a multi-pack of washers on hand.

You might want to grind the pointed tips down. The blunt tip acts as a stop in case the screw bottoms out in the plastic when installed in the wrong tower. If you leave it pointy, there is a posibility that it won't stop if it bottoms out and you'll end up with a whole hole where there was none before.

I can confirm this but luckily my screws weren't long enough to fully poke through.
However, they did end up leaving some annoying dimples.
