The Woodstocks, on the other hand, have feet that are inserted into the screw holes on the bottom of the calculator. Mine have started to turn gooey as well.

The best substitute I've found for Woodstock feet is amazingly cheap, plentiful and easily available, and even come in multiple colors. Cut up a block eraser and insert it into the feet wells. I don't have the dimensions written, I just took an old one as a guide and then with an X-Acto knife, cut some similar sized replacements out of the eraser. Total cost is not quite free, but darned close.

If you've not removed Woodstock feet, pull the old feet out to verify size before you cut; they are 'deeper' than they appear, and it's natural to make new ones that are too short if you haven't checked.

Buy 2 erasers when you find the right color/material, even though 1 will generally be enough material for 2 sets of 4 feet. As erasers they will (slowly) wear down over time, but then you'll have a spare ready to go.

It needs to be said: use white colored erasers (or putty if you can find it) as pink would juts look... well like an eraser.

Edit: Some samples, just to be clear what type I used:

Plain

Fancy Oooo... Polymer
