I'm hoping someone here can help me. I've searched this group and the
Internet for any sources that sell the rubber feet for my Vectrex
controllers. I measured one (actually the only one left on my
controller) and it measures 6.5 mm in diameter ... pretty small I must
say. There are places that sell them but they are too big. Anyone
know of a source, preferrably in Canada or the US that sell ruber feet
that small? Anyone have any spare ones sitting around that they would
like to sell me? Any help is always much appreciated. Thanks.

You can easily find rubber feet that has thin areas of rubber between
the feet. Get some brass tubing of the correct inner diameter and use
it to punch out circles. Sharpen the end of the tube with a bit of
sandpaper on the outside. It might be easier if you heat the tube and
melt through the rubber, but be quick to knock out the piece so it
doesn't melt all the way.
