Grub screws are mostly a dime a dozen. Find a specialist nuts and bolts place.
Take the tool down.
40 years old, it would prob be a non-metric thread.
OK, you're in the sticks. Find an industrial supplies place (bearings etc) or a decent auto parts place and see if they can tell you the thread specs. Then ...
Another option is to get a HSS set of metric taps, find the closest and retap. Then you'll likely find a GS from Repco etc in a mixed pack.
Good luck with it.Cheers, Ern

Scintilla were the origins of Bosch power tools.
Look for your local bosch power tool repair centre and they should keep the original screws in stock.Jim Carroll
