Title: Screws for Vendo 83 door gasket
Post by: Bulldog Z on May 08, 2016, 12:49:22 pm
Where would I buy new door gasket screws for my Vendo 83? I have the original screws, but I have been unable to find them locally. Also, what size are the screws.

Try a local hardware store like ACE.  Take your original with you the have templates there to match up your thread pattern.  Typically they are very common sizes like #8 or # 6.

Also I would get stainless ...

Are you trying to find the clutch head style screws?  If so, I would just find a standard Philips that is the same size.  I agree with Jared, I would go with stainless.

The screws I need go through the breaker strip and gasket into the wooden supports around front of the machine. The screws I have look like typical pan head style screws.

Looks like you are 90% there take the screws to local hardware store and match them up.
