Where to get those long scope feet?

[Tom Del Rosso]

Three of the feet on the bottom end of my HP scope broke off. I'm amazed at
how brittle they are. It isn't exactly bakelite maybe, because it feels
soft and soapy-smooth to the touch, but it does have that obsidian look
where it cleves.

At first I was going to ask about glues, but they would just break again. I
recall Tek uses feet that feel like rubber with some elasticity rather than
brittleness. Is there any place I can scrounge a set of four?

Try a dollar store and look for those gadgets that stop an open door from
damaging the wall.

A scope on high heels?

I haven't seen any of those that were reasonably short. I also don't want
to put the wood/sheet metal screws into the scope.

There are all sorts of doodads there. Look around with an open eye. Often
you'll find something you can use.

My local one now sells S-Video, USB to USB, USB to printer and 100baseT
cables! Gotta love that!

Some of those stores which tried to sell them for $20-$30 a pop got tired of
the inventory sitting on their shelves and dumped them off.....

Perhaps. But it's a good chance to stock up. They've also savaged the price
of batteries which was outrageous before.

Try Home Depot, hardware store, or similar for adhesive backed rubber
bumpers htat are used to keep floor lamps from scratching the carpet, etc.
