Does anyone know where this screw can still be purchased? I’ve found it is normally used for playfield plastics and goes through a black standoff. I can’t find what the original part number was or any for sale at Marco, Pinball Life or other sources. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Dr, length is 1-5/8" and is a #6. I have done this very thing you suggest, chucked in a drill and spin it but often they're kinda stripped (where the phillips head screw fits).
Northvibe, like I posted, I can't find it in the Taxi manual or any other System 11 manual either. I've had success with Marco listing numerous other #6 or #8 size screws, just not this one.
FatPanda, I'd agree, I most certainly can make something close, just looking to see if it really is still available. If it is I'd still like to purchase since I'll be doing a bunch of playfield swaps in the near future. I just did a Bad Cats playfield swap and currently working on a Taxi swap. Hence the reason for the post.
I appreciate the replies. If anyone knows specifically where to still find it, please let me know.

FatPanda, I will page through the Williams Blue manual.
bluespin, I will check out Ace. I agree, HomeDepot and Lowes aren't the best source. I have a local hardware store here called Moyer Lumber and they do have a great selection, just not exactly the original one. A couple of Ace locations near too, just haven't checked them out as of yet.
chris_p, that really looks close in the Marco link you provided. I measured from the tip of the screw to the underside of the washer so technically at 1-1/2", just a bit shy of the 1-5/8" but may just work fine for what I'm looking for. Next Marco order, I'll tack a few of these on to see if they're the same.
Thanks for all the responses and suggestions.
