    Help me find my feet!

    My wife was moving the speaker not knowing you had to lift up. She broke one of the feet on the speakers. Partsexpress does not sell them anymore. I really like the look of them, anyone know of this style available somewhere else? Otherwise, I have to pull all of them off and replace w/ something else. :M

      I have some, but they've all be promised to Poorboy Mike.

      That said I have more of them than I initially thought, so he probably won't mind if you get a set.

        WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Just kidding. :B I wouldn't mind at all. I actually thought you forgot all about it.

        Once I get my hands on a set, I'm going to try some lathe work and see if I can duplicate them, maybe even improve upon them a bit.

            I have two sets of 4 per package. I originally planned to use these, but changed my mind. Brand new never installed. One box never opened.

              Perhaps this is serendipity, but I've been looking for two sets of these.
              If anyone has extras and is willing to part with them, please PM me.
              It'll be much appreciated. :P

                  I only need one, but would buy a set if I could!

                  Please Please Please? :P I would make it worth your time!

                  This brings back the memory of asking a question here a while ago. Should I buy spare drivers???
                  I really should build a grill for that center channel speaker, I have kids running around. And although they know how much love I have in these things, accidents happen. I can see 15 years from now needing a driver, and having to throw out a cabinet because I did not have one. Of course, it would more than likely be a big waste of money, but I would be feeling smug right now if I had bought some extra feet!

                  I think the feet are at their max capacity with these cabinets. They weigh in around 80 lbs, and of course the carpet does not let them move anyway.

                    If technimac doesn't respond I'll gladly offer the feet to you. I've had them in a box for something like 9 months now.

                    My WWMT cabinets came it closer to 100lbs each which was part of the reason I did not attach the feet.

                      If you're successful, I would be interested in some 2x - 3x as big.

                        There would be a market for something that. If someone sold something like "Totem Claws", I'd be buying those for every tower speaker I do.



                        The DIY version I did once was made out of wood. A craft store near me has wood eggs. I cut the bottom off the round side then cut the whole thing in half. I screwed it on to the sides at the bottom with two screws from the inside. (removable bottom in a tower speaker, predrilled with a "skewdriver") Finally I mounted some madisound yung spikes in the bottom of it. Black stain and a satin clear coat later I was done.
