Have u tried ace hardware or a supply house ?
 
The gib screws have a bigger head diameter than a normal screw you buy in a hardware store. They'd need to be made up unless you can find them on ebay
 
I don't have a heavy 10, but I know that SB never used standard sized screws in their lathes. Everything was off size. My 9 has some funky pitch. So I am surprised to hear 1/4 -20 , they generally went with a fine pitch.

I Tried Ace and bolts .com the head on a 1/4 x 20 socket head is too small plan be is to find a 7/16 socket and re-thread it to 1/4 x20 and trim the head and shoulder. My lathe is running ....the screws are the last parts fort the taper attachment. I thought South benr lathe works might still carry them but NO LUCK. I would buy a gib and the screw if I had to.... i can see someone not wanting to break up a set.
 
I was under the impression that you needed the adjusting screws for the gibs. The screws you need are sold on ebay. Here's the link.

I've done business with this guy before, he also sells wipers and small hardware parts kits for SB lathes, and is a good dealer with fast shipping. If you only need a part from his kits, he will break them up if you ask.

That's not the screw he's looking for. The one he needs has a head on it that is about .555" dia. x .25" lg, with a 1/4-20 threaded section abot 1-1/8" long on it. The one I have in front of me has a hex socket instead of a screw driver slot, probably home made. The SBL 10L lathe uses tapered gibs on the cross slide and compound plus the taper attachment. I believe this screw is used on all of those pieces. The one I have here is off the taper attachment. I don't have any extras.

Off hand, I don't know of a screw out there that can be modified to work. I would make one. Real easy to make. Material, use what ever you have on hand, a piece of drill rod would be perfect, usually what most people have handy for some parts. I know I have some. 12L14 might be a little too soft to use, 1144 would be perfect if you have a piece laying around. 1018 is fine too. Like I said, most anything you have laying around will work.

Your dead on Ken, but my cross slide gib screws have a 3/16 Hex hole to adjust not a slot or ( God forbid, ) Phillips
I'm off tomorrow so I will see what I can create I'll probably Slot the head
