Accidentally posted this on the "Comment board" so I'm reposting it in the correct place!
I have an old Kustom 3x15 cab that I bought a few years ago. Sadly, someone lost all but 4 of the screws. The thing rattles like hell, which I assume is because there are only 4 screws holding in the back. Whoever had the cab before me put black sticky shit all on the inside to keep the back closed, I removed as much of it as I could when I got it, cause when I opened it up I got the black crap all over me.
Anyways, if anyone knows where to get more of those screws let me know.
And let me know if getting those screws would even help with the rattling.

Take one of the 4 original back panel screws that you have and go to a well stocked hardware store and match up replacements.
You will also need to get the matching finishing washers.
If you have any holes that will not grip the screw tight enough then just wood glue in a tooth pick or two to fill in the gap.
When the glue has dried just cut off the unnecessary length with a carpet knife or a single edge razor.

What you're looking for is stainless-steel oval-head wood screws, with the matching shoulder washers. You should be able to get these at Home Depot, Lowes or Ace Hardware. I think it's #10 size that you want. They'll look exactly like the originals, in my experience.
