I'm missing both screws and both nuts that hold up the part shown above (the part that isn't being held up). I went to Radioshack to see if they'd have the same screws/nuts, and they didn't. The ones they had were a tiny bit bigger. I know nothing when it comes to turntables but I was wondering, should I just get those? They fit, because it's a really loose thing it has to fit into. But I've heard things about **** up the weight on that part of the turntable, and about how fragile it is, so I didn't want to get screws that were too heavy. But should I just get them? Or is it worth going out to another store like Home Depot or some shit and looking for the exact screws I had? This doesn't have to be this complicated, I'm just on adderall for the first time in a while and I like typing right now. That's also why I'm typing with proper capitalization and punctuation.

If you place to much weight on the head shell you can counter it using the tone arm weight. I don't really foresee the radio shack screws being a problem however, I doubt it would have a serious effect due to negligible weight difference.

I'm not particular though, I've seen worse turntable home remedies.
