Tell me about it :-(   Beeb screws, the proper short mushroom-head
self-strippers for the PCB, not the similar-but-longer case screws (no
self-respecting Beeb has case screws fitted) are just as bad.  I found
a place that will sell me some -- if I order 1000.  Anyone else need a
few?  [not serious, they're too expensive in small quantities]
