		+	Under the main part of the cabinet, and also at the tips of the 'stabilizer feet' (DEC's official name for the extension feet on the front a cabinet, to keep it from tipping over when units are slid out), there are 'levelers' (again, DEC's official term) - threaded rods with a metal cup holding a circular rubber pad. These are often damaged or lost, but replacements are available.
		+
		+	The small ones at the tips of the extension feet are 5/16"-18 thread, and a suitable replacment part is the Vlier FSE302S. They fit OK, with two caveats:
		+
		+	# The round foot part is a significantly larger diameter than the DEC originals, but they do fit OK on neighbouring extension feet (i.e. on a pair of H960's, both with extension feet).
		+	# The threaded shaft is somewhat longer than the originals, so even when wound fully up, there isn't a lot of room between the foot and the floor.
		+
		+	The larger one under the cabinet are 1/2"-13 thread; Vlier makes suitable replacements for them, too - FSE306S. Like the smaller ones for the extensions, the pad on the bottom is somewhat wider than on the DEC originals, but they still work fine.
