Clay, that sounds like a proper engineering solution, but overkill since Elecraft has already found a solution used for the side panel feet, that shows no signs of failure over 10 years. Moreover, using your approach would likely affect the resale value negatively, while an official solution (adding more feet like the existing side feet, or slightly thicker) from Elecraft might not.

Even if the glue goes, it will come right off. Or you can do the research and get the right glue chemistry for the application and have it applied to the Sorbothane discs... 73, ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 4/22/2017 12:32 AM, Erik Basilier wrote: > > > > > From: Erik Basilier [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, April 21, 2017 9:45 PM > To: 'Harry Yingst' <[email protected]> > Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Handles and feet - was KPA 500 vs New 1500 > watt amp > > > > Harry, I have considered doing the same. However, my experience with using the stick-ons is that the glue goes bad in a few years, and the foot falls off, leaving an ugly residue of glue. > > > > From: Harry Yingst [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, April 21, 2017 8:35 PM > To: Erik Basilier <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> >; > 'Nr4c' <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> >; 'Clay > Autery' <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > > Cc: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Handles and feet - was KPA 500 vs New 1500 > watt amp > > > > I put little stick on feet where two peices of gear may touch > > > > > > > > > > > > -------- Original message -------- > From: Erik Basilier <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > > Date: 2017-04-21 10:59 PM (GMT-05:00) > To: 'Nr4c' <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> >, 'Clay > Autery' <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > > Cc: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Handles and feet - was KPA 500 vs New 1500 > watt amp > > As the number of Elecraft boxes on my shelf has grown, what I have > long feared has recently happened: The handle on one box (or probably > a screw on the handle) created a small scratch on the nude side of > neighboring box.
