Wyse PCE screw size

I got a project Wyse PCE keyboard off the street the other day, and have been trying to restore it.

However, I have misplaced the screws for the chassis. Does anyone have one of these who can figure out the size/thread pitch of them, so I can order replacements?

Also, Wyse has made the process of repairing a huge nightmare. The mounting plate is literally soldered to the PCB, with a single huge post, and two screws, all soldered down, for no discernible reason.

I can't help with the screw size, but coincidentally I have spent my whole day desoldering a wyse pce also to restore it. It took me at least 15 minutes to DESOLDER the screws just to take off the plate, and I'm not sure but the spacebar stabilizer housing seems to be bolted to the pcb, which is super annoying because it is filled with dust.
