The big rubber feet

Terje Winther
Hi all,
Thanks a lot for all the input on this list. I have repaired a Matrix-12 some time ago, but not everything is tip-top, so I am doing a second round of service on it. Once again I am looking for rare parts, but seem to have located most of them thanks to this list. But what about those extrordinary big rubber feet? The one I have here has only 1 of the four original feet still in place, and they are BIG. I have tried locating something, but nothing comes even close to the size. One could argue that it doesn?t really matter; it is just a rubber feet that no-one will ever see, but remember that this is a big synth, so it should have big feet as well. Any ideas for what I can use, or where I can find something? (I don?t expect to find any original rubber feet) I tried furniture shops, but the rubber feet they have are either too small (both in diameter and height), or they are long, but too thin, and most of all they are often too hard, while the original Oberheim rubber feet are somewhat softer.

Hi Terje,
A couple?of my M12's feet fell off and I did not worry about it cause I had it on a stand. But I placed it on a table for awhile and it did not take long before?crazy stuff started appearing on the display along with tune fails etc. After some troubleshooting I realized the flexing of the bottom was causing the large circuit boards inside to flex and cause?fails. After puting the missing?feet back on everything was fine. After a bit of digging I found this: ?? The dimensions are almost identical but it's clear. I would think there are black ones out there somewhere. Maybe the originals are doorstops also. ? Best ? Karl?? ? ? ________________________________ From: Terje Winther <terje.winther@...> To: xpantastic@... Sent: Sat, May 26, 2012 7:19:29 AM Subject: [xpantastic] The big rubber feet ?

Hi Karl,
Thanks a lot - just what I needed! Unfortunately the company based in Florida (?) didn?t sell to Europe, but through their site I was able to find the original manufacturer, and sourced a reseller in England that sold them at a higher price through eBay, but shipment is cheaper, so it adds up OK. Yes, an interesting thought: it could be that the original feet are doorstops too, because they are much bigger than anything else I see underneath synths or keyboards. Terje

Hi Doug, My Matrix-12 is actually missing just one of those rubber feet. Can I buy one from you? Hope all is well, Howie From: synthparts To: xpantastic@... Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2012 12:14 AM Subject: [xpantastic] Re: The big rubber feet
