Default Missing Screw-Yamaha GC-201S

I have a Yamaha GC-201S and it's missing one screw that holds the tuner knob in place. The local guitar shop replaced it with a similar looking wood screw, but it's not the right one. Anyone have an idea where I might find a replacement? I've got an email off to Yamaha, but I'm not too optimistic since this model is discontinued and the local shop is a Yamaha dealer and they said that the screws were no longer available from Yamaha.

Here are some photos of the screw.

If you can't get an exact replacement, you may consider replacing them all.

Why didn't I think of that?! Sometimes I get locked into one idea, so that's why I posted.

Thanks, Kev!

Yamaha sent me a parts list, but I'd have to order a left or right side set of tuners for $83. Instead, I've ordered some screws from Guitar Parts Factory that look like they might work.
