Powerbook 100 & Powerbook 150 feet

For anyone who has both a powerbook 100 and powerbook 150 with their original feet - are the rear feet both interchangeable (ie mechanically swappable between the two machines) *AND* physically the same to look at? In pictures they look quite similar, but I need to know if they're the same.

I have a pb100 with no feet, and I have three pb150s, one of which is dead and came to me with the display in pieces - sticking a pair of 150 feet on the 100 would be one more step towards restoring it :) .

Nope they are very different...PB100 feet have plastic thingies that snap onto the side of the case, and they have othe rplastic thingies that extend when you flip 'em down. PB140/145/145B/150/160/165/165c/170/180/180c feet are screwed on to the case and don't have extending plastic thingies. :)

Excuse my extreme overuse of the words "thingy" and "thingies", but its the best way for me to put it :p
