[heathkit] 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!)

["Jeff Allen" <jallen22@qwest.net>]

Hi Rob,

I sell rubber feet on e-bay. They are very close to original and I've had no 
complaints. Search for Heathkit rubber feet and you'll find them in my 
store. Now and then I have a pair of risers for sale.
