Xpantastic!

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:
  
http://www.westfloridacomponents.com/HW305APF10/Clear+Recessed+Rubber+Bumper+Doorstop+46mm+x+15.2mm.html


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

Subject: [xpantastic] The big rubber feet

  
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.
