[Hallicrafters] Rubber Feet

[Peter May]

Hi Barry,
I was going to suggest some typewriter feet as thats what most sets used,
(the are even called that in some parts listings) then I started to wonder
about the availablility of old typewriters.
There was a run of the old office machines some years ago, you could buy one
for almost nothing and people couldnt give em' away, but that one has sort
of dropped off now.

Regards
Peter

design.  I think even the SX-28's have them.

rectangle, then bevel the outside edges.  The tougher part is to carve out
the hollow where the rectangular "washer" goes.

black grips, or maybe even Permatex.
