cartridge screws

Just got a new tonearm and none of the cartridge screws I have are long enough to hold my cartridges in place.

Anybody else find that cartridge screws are often too short for some reason?

You should take the screws you have with you as these normally don't use nuts. So you may have to use the nuts you have and will need to match thread size and pitch.

I got them on E-bay...not much at all. I got the ones with Allen wrench heads which guarantee no screwdriver slip creating a gauge in the arm.
