Where to find tiny Singer screw
I know this is a long shot, but I hate to waste vintage parts. My 403A is missing a tiny screw. It's one of the two on the bobbin case positioning bracket. I haven't got the machine sewing yet (instead I've been taking it apart) but I assume it won't work well without this screw, right?
Here's a photo of the part:
Any ideas of where to find a replacement screw? And/or find out what size it is?

A good old fashioned hardware store has a shocking array of screws and other little bits. And they'll help you so you don't have to look through it all.
Long shot, but if similar enough, maybe it's something you could get from the Singer Featherweight Shop? https://singer-featherweight.com/

My local sewing machine repair shop has a cabinet full of screws, too. I think the charged me $3.00 for one I needed. It was well worth the price. They found the screw for me, though.
