I have a virtually mint HP1740A that was willed to me 30 years ago. I just took it down off the shelf and all 4 cord wrap feet disintegrated. Does anyone have a set or know where I can find them? eBay turns up nothing.

Thanks,

Hi,

I had the same problem with a Tek 465 scope. I found some NOS ones that were sealed in their original bags, but the problem was that them disintegrated the same way. Rubber, some plastics and even carbon composition resistors age regardless they are installed or stored. The solution is to replace them with something different that could make the same function or have them 3D printed.

Regards,

Fred Usack can machine high quality rubber feet, with the bolts if
needed; I've ordered several sets from him for HP 17xx and Tek scopes.



Just tell him thoe model # or give specs.

You might consider a trip to the hardware store. My Tek 453 had the same problem with his feet. I found some metal drawer pull knobs that looked like they might work. I drilled them out for 10/32 size screws, which is what the original feet used. They may not look like Tek parts, but they don't look outta place.
