I accidentally read this, despite my non-ownership of an A20M, and thought
I'd expand the discussion a bit. The 560 series maintenance manuals also
say to use the screws just once. I can't see any evidence that these screws
have suffered any when I remove them, but I *have* lost a few after
reinstalling them, so now you have me wondering: (a) which machines use
"use-once" screws, and does this include the 560 line? (b) is there any
harm in reusing them other than the fact that they might fall out again?
(c) where does one get replacements? (Used to be Boulder, I think, but my
bookmark for that website doesn't work any more...)
