On Tuesday, at a gig/jam, I noticed that my most treasured DeArmond pedal (the one I got when I was 16, but I have another two) was unstable, telling me straight away that one of the feet had gone missing. I checked all around the bottom of my gig bag, but no dice.
At home, I had two similar, but slightly larger, rubber feet (removed from an amplifier head a few years ago when it was refurbished), and they will do - but the problem lies in getting hold of the little self-tapping American screws which hold the feet (and the base-plate) to the underside of the unit's case.
So... I remembered that I bought an old, defunct 610 on eBay a few years ago, reasoning that it would be good for spares. Ten minutes later, after a trip up into the loft, I recovered the donor unit and brought it downstairs. Rattling around inside were three of the rubber feet - and the screws! Thyen I remem,bered that I had already used one of them as a spare on another of the pedals.
I treated one of the donor's rubber feet as a spare and fitted it - so my trusty old 1967 unit is now back in complete order (and working well). Phew!
I still think I'll replace all the feet (all now starting to perish) with newer, slightly larger ones... but I'll need washers to stop the screws pulling straight through... so I now need a real old-fashioned hardware shop...
