I'm melting!!


Just reached for the controls of my Jolida102 and came away with oozing black slime.   The rubber vibration dampening feet seem all to have melted.   Scraped them off.  Replaced with baby-food container caps.   I assume this will work?    Shouldn't rubber designed for hot amps be able to resist heat?  (or is this just what happens as they age ...)

This is a drawback of a natural rubber. As all Linn Sondek users know, and I have learned in an unpleasant way! I have pARTicular rack (approved by The Boss!!!) and its a light birch veneer... Melting black rubber totally destroyed it! 
Re. the price of a set of new footers: it is not just us, when I bought a set of new footers for an Eppendorf vacuum-centrifuge for my lab, I thought that I am buying a new centrifuge! But what can a poor boy do? We just pay the price... ;-(
