SB series: Rubber feet (standard)/ Plastic risers (tall height ) / Plastic risers (medium height) - used as complete feet on short equipment - WHERE TO BUY 'BEST' (Looks wise!)

[Paul Kraemer]

McMaster Carr has a nice selection of plastic and rubber feet for equipment. 
They are listed as bumpers so don't give up if you don't find them right 
away.
I am gradually replacing all of mine to what is available today at a 
reasonable price. If all pieces of a line (Heath or other) have the same 
feet it looks just fine to me and I'm pretty critical.
