Re: feet
Anytime I've had that happen to equipment, I get some replacements at Radio Shack--usually a bit bigger, but they stay on better--I either replace or put side-to-side the remaining ones at the same time.

Re: feet
One valuable aspect of having these feet is that they do provide a small amount of airflow underneath if being used on a flat surface. Simply keeping the bottom of the book from having direct contact with a solid surface allows excess heat to escape. Some of the books provide hardly any so if you are replacing, it might be worthwhile finding some just a little taller then the originals. A few weeks ago I noticed on ebay several people selling replacement feet. Don't remember exactly where it was but some searching should produce if you need them. I'm also going to be ordering a bunch of feet (much larger) soon for a project so maybe I can buy some that will fit most books too while I'm at it.

Re: feet
David and Anne--and a winking aside for Brian... Go to www.allelectronics.com and search for feet (don't use their link to Rubber Feet/Bumpers as it returns nothing). Feet will get you five different items. I used one of their small, clear feet (cat# RF-33); not quite perfect, but very close. I just did a very careful, bevel-cut and they dropped right in. The adhesive is very good on these feet. Cat# RF-13 would be a perfect fit, but it is a press-fit foot (can you say that three times fast?); if you have a good plastic/rubber glue, you could cut off the small insert and just glue the foot in. rb -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo Rubber feet.
When I suggested a glue gun I was not trying to be facetious. Glue guns are amazing things and you do not need a rubber foot underneath them. As Phil suggested, the glue itself is the foot. You can shape it any way you want--but I suggest not using your fingers to shape the glue unless you are competing for the Gordon Liddy hall of fame. Can you get black glue? Yes you can. In fact there are gazillions of glues that go into a glue gun--at different temperatures and for different materials and with different textures. Here is a site with inexpensive stuff and black glue. http://www.hotstik.com/ If you need a gun, get their inexpensive 2-temperature gun--the hotter the glue the better it sticks (but the harder it is to work with. Believe it or not, the dent-pulling glue really works and is used by professionals (like my wife). It is also vastly superior to caulking in the bath.

Pismo Rubber feet.
As reported previously, I've used round, hemispherical clear feet/bumperws from the hardware store for some time and prefer them over the original black feet. (They should look better than a glop of hot glue.) Nonetheless, give it a try. For those that insist on a black foot, is hot glue available in black? The feet may also be available in black, as well - I've seen black square feet, not round ones. Square feet would definitely look nasty. Relative to the black feet, they stay put way longer, grip my inclined workstation far better, and put a bit more space between the Pismo and the desk for ventilation. It is possible to find these things in the exact size of the recesses that the old black feet fit in. For longer lasting results and appearance, I recommend you clean out vestiges of the old stickum out of the recesses first. GooGone? I replaced all of the black feet during my first year of ownership of the Pismo in 2000. Only two have come off since then, and probably due to being bumped/scraped directly. The originals seemed to peel off if the PB was slid across a reasonably grippy surface. May replace them all again as they have yellowed and are a bit scuffed. Think the originals were 3M brand - other brands may or may not adhere as well. YMMV. Think this issue has been beaten to death, but carry on if you wish.

Pismo rubber feet
Dunno. Have been using the clear feet from the hardware store for some time and prefer them. They stay put way longer, grip my inclined workstation far better, and put a bit more space between the Pismo and the desk for ventilation. It is possible to find these things in the exact size of the recesses that the old black feet fit in. For longer lasting results and appearance, I recommend you clean out vestiges of the old stickum out of the recesses first. GooGone? The inclined workstation is actually a music stand that was probably meant to be used on top of a grand piano. At any rate, it is smooth, but the book stays put. Great ventilation, ergonomic and very elegant. I'd pay $30 for a stand like this, not the feet. F. Hi. Please share with me what is the racket going on with replacing the powerbook rubber feet for a Pismo? I've visited at least three websites where they are trying to sell replacement stick-on rubber feet for close to $20. The lowest price at one site wanted $10 for the strip of four black stick-on rubber feet but then their shipping and handling was $10. This is insane since the weight isn't even listed because it does not register on most postal scales. Yup, you guessed it a first class no. 10 envelope for thirty seven cents and away they go. So as a temporary measure I went to Home Depot and purchased clear stick-on cabinet door bumpers 3/8 package of twenty for $2. The thickness is greater but I'm testing the first one to see if it stays on. Does anyone else have a suggestion for a reasonably priced source of black powerbook feet?

Re: Pismo rubber feet
Yes, hie thee down to your local WalMart or Dollar General and tell them you want the little round stickum pads they put under furniture. They are called Grippers and they are made by FloorKing. They will have them in black or white and in packages of 6 or 8 or 12. The sizes will vary from a diameter larger than a dime to about the diameter of a silver dollar. I am using two 1/2 inch pads at each corner of my Pismo. The height keeps my Pismo nice and cool and for the past few years has avoided all irritation and discomfort in my wrists and hands. I think there is some ergonomic value in having the Pismo at the right height for you, so for $2.95 a package, you can experiment. The pads last about 2 years for me, so you might want to let your local Mac group know you have them. d Hi.

Little rubber feet
One of the little rubber feet fell off of my PB 12. I have the piece. How should I stick it back on? I really don't want to send the whole thing back to Apple (which is what they wanted me to do when I had lost one of the little screws in the lid, which luckily, I found again). The rubber piece appears to have a little nub on it which fits into a little indentation in the computer. That doesn't seem very secure. Would krazy glue be a really bad idea?

Pismo rubber feet, WAS I'm back...
What is worse than incessant advertising is incessant bickering. How about a ceasefire? I second that motion. In other news; I went to my local hardware store and picked up a box of 3/8 inch self-adhesive rubber feet for my pismo (I had one left, out of four). They're clear plastic and almost perfect little hemispheres. Even with the old rubber feet, I used to be able to push my laptop across tables with little effort. Now it seems I might as well have just glued my laptop onto my desk. =- Tim -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Trackpad into rubber feet
Clear plastic self stick feet are great replacements for the original black rubber feet that peel off and get lost so easily. Think 3M makes them. Available at hardware stores. Bouncy like rubber and they grip about as well so the book doesn't slide off of inclined surfaces, yet will slide without extreme force. (My pismo lives on an inclined music stand from a piano or organ. Neat way to ventilate under the book and raise it off the desk surface to imporve ergonomics) The feet are available in the exact size to fit the recess where the old feet fit. After managing to not lose and reglue the original feet with various sticky substances I discovered that the clear self stick feet stayed put longer. Just clean out the recess where they mount real well before installing them.

Oh no! My little rubber feet are missing from the bottom of my powerbook!!!
As mentioned a few posts back, I've had success finding clear 'not quite hemispherical' self stick plastic feet (made by 3M?) that fit perfectly in the recesses in the Pismo. I finally lost an original foot despite several experiments with different glues and ended up replacing all of them with the clear feet. They are available at hardware stores and have far outlasted the originals and resist sliding quite well. -- Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2002 19:32:55 -0400 Subject: Oh no!

Oh where oh Where do I find the substitute, or surrogate, little rubber feet?

PowerBook rubber feet overview
While I'm at it, I know that this list has already discussed the topic of Powerbooks' rubber feet, but I seem to have lost those messages. Can anybody point me to a suitable replacement set of feet and/or reliable adhesive? My Pismo lost all its rubber feet some time ago, and I sort of miss them. (It slides easily and the bottom's getting all scratched up.) Here they are: *** My Ti-400 is always loosening a screw - usually the one nearest the AC adaptor socket. I suspect the large heat/cool range is at fault. Any fixes out there? Also, I lose rubber feet (including that one) which means desk scratches when I don't notice the screw coming out again. Are the feet available? *** Apple has them available, as does (i think) pbparts.com. Apple mailed me some just a few weeks ago. Here's what I did, after getting the idea from having the same problem on my PB G3 (Firewire): take a small piece of sand paper or a key and scour the inside of the little hole the foot goes into. then, use some sort of glue (I used Rubber Cement in -very- small quantities) on the adhesive side of the foot. insert foot and it should stay in longer. On my Firewire, the feet never came off again. We'll see about the TiBook. Also, I heartily recommend the CoolPad Podium by RoadTools, which solved the screw loosening for me. The podium raises the rear of the Powerbook for better airflow. After I installed an extra 128MB RAM, my fan would kick on about 3 times a day after getting the Podium, it hasn't kicked on at all. *** There are commercial products (like Loctite®) to discourage threaded connections from loosening, but a little rubber cement under the screw head (and touching the top few threads) might also do the trick. Wallmart or any decent hobby store ought to have these by the boatload, any size your want. To borrow a line from a potato chip commercial... You won't be able to get just one. ;-) *** someone mentioned that replacement rubber feet could be found at Home Depot, or some such place. Anyone remember? *** What works better than the feet is that foam rubber web stuff that's used to line your kitchen cupboards with. I just place a piece of that on the table that I'm using my 'book on, and the 'book's cord can be yanked right out the back and the 'book doesn't even budge. A .99 (or thereabout) roll of it at WalMart is good for about 10 pieces... *** Try Loctite brand adhesives. . . . . kinda like crazy glue, but better, if you use the surface insensitive type. Do a search for it at: www.mcmaster.com But IMHO, I wouldn't want something that would stick too well, because that would usually mean destroying or discoloring the surface of your Powerbook. I'd rather have something I can replace without incident every few weeks. *** Okay, Gene and everybody - I still have my four feet, but would like to find an adhesive which will keep the rubber feet/circles on for longer than a month or two. Any help on that? If it's available at my local Radio Shack, please post specific type/model # for the glue stuff... *** I just use some round self-stick plastic bumpers that come on a sheet. They are usually used for the corners of pictures you hang on the wall or on cupboard doors. My mom found a couple of sheets at a garage sale. I don' t know where you can buy them, but any hardware store is a good bet. *** I just use some round self-stick plastic bumpers that come on a sheet. REPLY Hi - I've been watching this thread with some amusement - me of the controlled slide persuasion. The well known torsional creakness of Lombard has long pushed me toward carousels or even magazines as adjustable platforms that you can slide any which way to adjust your access to the kb/screen. Enough of! rolling off the rubber pads with their annoyingly powerful stiction. One exception - when perching ol' Lommie atop a stereo or whatever with dangling entanglements for the errant foot a firmer grip makes a little sense (although a good yank will put it on the floor anyway). Maybe Apple should introduce the equivalent of locking casters. *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
