The online catalog indicates that the package size is 25 ... and
if you call, they are often willing to break a package! Or just find
two friends to split with...

These are used in the KX1.

How soon we forget!  All the crying and moaning about
the screws in the K2 and why in the world didn't Elecraft
countersink those screws.  You guys are just too much!

Well in my own defense I've not built a K2 and wasn't on the list back then.
Beyond that the screws in my K1 are countersunk.  Bout the only time I set
something on top of the K1 is when the top case gets to resonating a bit
setting something up there tends to kill the rattles.  The K3 probably won't
have as big of an issue there being larger and all.  I mainly would want
them low profile for aesthetics not so much for stacking stuff on it.  Heck
doesn't most stuff have feet anyway?

I'm sorry now that I started all this off !

Just wanted a few more case screws to be included, "in case" (pun)
I lost some...
