Agreed :-) The brown stuff isn't much nicer after 15-30 years. I suspect
someone before me had replaced foam that lost its resilience, and thought
conductive foam would be better in some way.

Thanmks to everyone who replied. I'll just use ordinary high-density foam.
It's much cheaper than a couple of square feet of good quality conductive
foam, which would be a bit thin anyway.
