So I had taken the panel out a while ago to clean and point (in hindsight I wish I had left it up, but live and learn).
Anyway, I seem to have misplaced the screws. The parts manual shows them as line item 12 in section 23.080 but there is NPN (which I assume means No Part Number) and there is no size given. Anyone know what size/type these are, so I could get some from either McMaster or local hardware store. I have not called our vendors yet, but it just dawned on me that that would probably be a good idea.

Paul,
I went to the Parts Book 78Z and found 23.080 on page 23-74. Key 12 is NPN as you noted and you are correct it means No Part Number.
If I recall correctly those are stainless steel oval head countersunk Philips screws; I am not sure about the size and length,
however, I believe them to be number 8 or number 10 and 3/4" long, I'm leaning towards number 8.
Below is a link to a picture of those screws:

Below is a link to the McMaster Carr page with those screws:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#oval-head-sheet-metal-screws/=rpkle7
316 SS is better quality (less likely to rust than 18-8)
If you scroll down that page you will find chrome plated screws with the washers permanently attached.
Below is a link to the McMaster Carr page with the countersunk washers:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-washers/=rpkqde
Scroll down to Countersunk and click on the picture.
Having provided all the above you could visit a local Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace or True Value store in your area that have the Hillman
bins and find them there. Since I'm not sure of the size buy enough #8 and #10 screws to do the job and return whichever doesn't
fit.
