Went to the hardware store and bought some #8 x 1/2" tapered head screws. Needed 8 screws. Bought some extra (nice to have around, just in case...).
The original screws are #6 x 1/2".
The difference in diameter is 1/64" (about 1 mm).
To make the screws fit tighter, some pieces of synthetic fabric from a piece of rope was taken apart and stuffed in the screw holes.
Used a very small/thin screwdriver to push the fibers into the holes.
This one plastic base/hinge is broken.
Used super glue.
Don't know if it will hold after repeated use.
Glue...
All used #8 screws in all the holes for both of the broken hinge/base.
Fixed for now.
