Guys,
I spoke with a McMaster-Carr sales rep on the telephone about this very
issue several months ago. He told me that the slotted screw is made from
specially hardened steel and was indeed $5-something EACH at the time.
Sure enough, the description does say "Steel Type 4140 Hardened Alloy
Steel." Further down, it says "Rockwell Hardness Minimum C40." These
screws are obviously for some special, probably military or space,
application.
The closest thing they have that is reasonably priced is the phillips
head version for which I paid $5.28 for a box of 100.

Dick,
McMaster-Carr had a RIDICULOUS price, like $5.60 EACH on the web site,
and when questioned, said "that was the price, and checked correct". I
gave up after that. I am SURE that was for a box of 50 or 100, but
couldn't get them to budge. Just search for pan head, slotted 1/4",
black oxide screws and you should find them. They may have "sobered up"
by now, but it didn't look good for the Pakistani operatives answering
their emails!!

Some time ago, someone suggested a McMaster-Carr replacement for the
Drake cabinet screws. Does anyone on the list remember the part number?
