Replacement feet for Apple //e?

[pintodave]

I managed to finally get myself an Apple //e, but it is missing three of the four feet. I did some googling and found some references to a Radio Shack item, but the website comes up with nothing, even using the mentioned part number. Home Depot carries clear vinyl feet similar to the factory Apple ones, but I wanted to get something in dark brown like the original that won't break the bank like a lot of 3M stuff I am finding. $9 for 1-2 feet is crazy!

You're looking for a 3M Bumpon part.  The main directory for such things:

Probably something like this one:

Once you figure out the 3M part number, google on that and find a supplier.  Digikey and Mouser typically carry them in sane quantities.

No problem.  John from VintageMicros (http://www.vintagemicros.com/catalog/index.php) also sells small packs of appropriate feet - I can't find them on his site right now, but I know he has them.  It'll be more expensive per foot, but you won't have to buy a whole sheet of them, either.

I didn't have any luck finding them on his page either...

I went to an locally owned Ace Hardware here in Boise to get some keys cut for work and found some brown 3M replacements though! $4 for three sets (12 total)! If anyone needs some and is having trouble finding them let me know via pm!
