I did find out that the axle the bike shop sold me is 3/8" x 26TPI, courtesy of my thread gauge.
I have the Shimano one on the way from LooseScrews off eBay.
I see no one has said it yet, so: welcome to Bike Forums. Glad to see you already find the site worthwhile.
FWIW: the 5 post daily limit for new members (and 10 post limit for posting links/photos, send/receive PMs, probably a few other things) isn't there to "harass new members" - it's there to keep spammers at bay. You're most of the way towards being able to do those things.
Please do let us know how things turn out with your issue. One thing many people who solicit advice don't do is "close the loop" after fixing their problem. It helps to know what did and didn't work - posting that may help someone else solve the same or a similar problem.
