    Hey There!
    I lost one of my rubber feet, I glued only one of them after I opened it up because the other one was holding fine but now it's gone. :( I've looked everywhere and I can't find it.

    Is there any chance of ordering a couple of them ?
    Thanks for your attention!

    They don't sell the feet by themselves - you have to order the bottom case as well. Or at least that's what they told me a month ago.
    Same as the screws - I hit my table and the screws (carefully lined up) hit the floor, went under the skirting board tec - all lost :shock: but I can't get any ordered. Fortuneately it was my testbed AAO (for practicing soldering etc) and not my live one.

    Has anyone found any other U.S. sources for replacement foot pads? The part no. is 47.S0207.003.

    Sourceit apparently wants $5.98 plus $15 minimum for shipping. I haven't contacted them to find out if it's one foot or a set (although it says "foot," not feet), but even if it includes all six that's really high.

    Go to your local dollar store, Wal Mart, or other general store; buy a set of those adhesive pads and just cut them to size. It's not like they have to be perfect...

    I've to lost rubber feet and ended up getting a really old dell laptop and cutting the rubber feet off that and then crafting a replacement for my AAO.

    pretty happy with the job I've done but it does suck when bits start falling off when you have only had the unit five minutes.

    In a hundred years time there will be piles of AAO rubber feet that have accumulated in the streets and you'll be able to just pick one up from off the ground :lol:

    Any new (cheap) sources for rubber parts? I've been managing without the feet, but I would like to replace one of te round doo-dads at the top of the bezel.

    I just used 2 pencil erasers and rubbed them on a piece of paper until they were the right size to fit and then superglued them on. What's wrong with that?

    I've seen some pencils and erasable pens with black erasers. I bet they would look fine and be cheap to replace to boot.
