As far as the feet questiongoes, I am mulling doing a 2000 all commodore and as close to 100 percent period as I can get one, you know like a "stock" resto
on cars.

While the C= stuff had loads of aftermarket stuff, kind of neat to see an all C= machine (historical context) flaws and all.

The original feet?  For replacements the 1" rubber or felt circles at Wally World work fine. Online you can get the square black rubber feet (Jameco, MCM Electronics).  The A2000's used cork (never looked for them), the others are all black rubber. The smaller stuff used clear-ish rubber (Lowes).  The A4000T used an adjustable stand -- only The Lord and the case maker (Enlight) have a clue. I use felt so it slides easier to get to.

Boxes vs wedges: I have some wedges, but just try to find stories of a moderately expanded A1200 (or minimally expanded A600) and they read like Frankenstein's Monster. Yes I like the C128D, but still have my 1983 C64..

Not many folks look at the bottom, but 3/4 inch circular cork pads can be found at Ace Hardware online. In store my local Ace has a good selection of M3 and M4 (case) screws and nuts -- something Lowes lacks.
