They are also usually the odd number size, 1,3,5,7,9, etc which makes
them very close to impossible to find. They are also heat blued and oil
quenched. Hydrochloric acid takes off the zinc.

Finding slotted screws can be tough. I'd say they're worth around a buck

Hi Everyone,
I was wandering through one of those little hole in the wall antique stores
today and made a purchase. I hope that I got a good deal.
I found a nice clean little tabletop Edison DX in an oak cabinet. Serial
number 22676. It's got the usual grime that a gentle cleaning should take
care of. It's a strong runner and plays nicely. The only thing missing is
the bedplate screws that hold it in the case.
Can anyone tell me what one of those is worth in today's market?
I have some old auction books, but the market has changed so much that I
don't think that they are still accurate.
Tom
