    Quoted from Concretehardt:

    Here is what I did on my games, I used 3/4” wood screws with washers. The brackets are available at Home Depot.

    Quoted from Timerider:

    Why those screws are even still being made, is a mystery to me.

    Slotted screw = cost cutting
    ...damn Stern

    Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

    Are virtually all wood screws in pinball machines installed *without* pilot holes?

    They just have a small dimple, then the factory workers just start the screws where the dimples line up. Not sure if the cabinet has dimples, my guess would be no.
