Surprised you got the feet off without breaking the plastic that holds them in
place. I have a few 6100's and had feet brake off from moving the computer from
one desk to another. Their 20 year old plastic is extremely brittle, at least
on the ones I have.
If you haven't taken the cover off yet, I found using a flat blade screw driver
and very gently prying up the plastic tab that holds it in place will prevent
breaking the tab off. I had a couple of tabs break off before using the screw
driver method. If intact the cover it may be worth a couple of dollars to
someone who has a broken one.
If the original poster is not interested in the feet you offer, then I am --
if shipped within the USA.You can contact me off list: glenstrek at yahoo dot
com.
6100's are a great little pizza box Mac. Used one until a year ago for my
business (now retired) with a FileMaker database, a 300 MHz G3 processor, 264
MB RAM, HPV card with 4 MB RAM and networked to my newer G4's at that time.

Subject: Re: Need Plastic foot for Performa 6115CD
I'm in the process of dismantling my 6115CD and have the 4 feet. They came off
first, still trying to open the case so I can remove the harddrive. Let me know
if you still need the feet. I'll be glad to send them for the cost of shipping.

Greetings:
I have a 6115CD Power Mac (6100 series case) that one of the plastic
feet has broken and will not re-attach to the metal chassis. This is
the right front foot. I have thought about trying to Gorilla Glue it
back on (there are metal tabs that hold the plastic foot on and the
plastic broke at that point)... but upon reading the back of the
Gorilla Glue bottle, it recommends against using it on polyethylene or
polypropylene plastics. The question is: What kind of plastic is on
our Vintage beige Macs... IIRC, it is one of those types?
It would be great if someone has a good complete foot they'd be
willing to send my way as inexpensively as possible or I am open to
repair suggestions or if someone has had a similar issue and how you
fixed it.
Thanks,
Mike
