I can say that not a single rubber foot of my (Non-Woodstock) HP calculators has detoriated this way. They simply didn't have a chance: most of them came off and have been lost. I don't know why this happened, but this was the fate of all my HP41s. Years ago a friend gave me two 41CVs, both with intact feet and obviously used for 10 or 20 years, but within a year or so they most of their rubber feet first came loose (it looked like they had become slightly bigger) and finally they popped off.

What about rubber adhesive strips? Could this be a suitable replacement? Is a special brand or type recommended?
