missing bottom feet
Yes, they often walk away here... hide amongst a large number of friends... in an un-labeled? cardboard box somewhere... and eventually...enjoy the ride... to their final home... the dump.
There are models for them... and they can be 3D printed...by the local teenager... and if all you are interested is in functionality... from a distance... they look reasonably similar.
The bright orange PETG print threw me off at first... but, one can't see it when the unit is on the bench... and the 'feet' keep the case from contacting the bench... which is a 'no no' here.
But of course... nothing beats the bone fides.
You can always find those on Ebay, for 10.00 to 20.00 USD + plus 50.00 USD shipping.
I think scrappers, junk magnets, and metal hounds, keep the feet, and 'throw' the instrument away.
