I just checked and I do in fact have the holes there, but no screws and that is the way I got it from the previous owner. I didn't know enough to ask and this solves a mystery, so I can't thank you enough!!! Can you tell me what kind they are (i.e. size/pitch) and maybe I can source them locally if they are not to hard to come by. Also, if VPI still has them, maybe I can get them from them...dunno...thanks again!!!

Sorry, I don't recall off hand the length and size of the socket head cap screw but they are fairly common. The arm board is tapped for the correct sized diameter and pitch, therefore, you could take you arm board to a hardware store to match the correct size. For length, just make sure that the socket head cap screw clears the plinth holes and allows a 1/2" of thread to go into the arm board.
Thanks again sir!! Do you recall if there were a specific torque on each both (and a tightening pattern - like on a motor's cylinder head/gasket)? I really appreciate all your help and guidance!!!
