2 of said feet got bent at right-angles (!)
Hammer them straight, and clean up the threads with a die. Those outriggers
are unobtainium, so I can't imagine the feet are much better.
switch mechanisms for the PDP11/45 front panel. I have
the toggles
(thankfully), I need the switches
Now you're really into unobtainium territory. We've been moaning about the
inability to find these for a while now. All the early 11's (except the
11/20) use these - 11/05, 11/40, 11/45, etc - and a bunch of us need them,
but nothing doing.

Umm, actually, there is a large industrial business in
making equipment/furniture feet. You can get these sorts of
metal or nylon feet with threaded posts from several
manufacturers. (Now, I can't think of the names off the top
of my head.) You will even find a few of them in a good
hardware store. You might check outfits like MSC that sells
a lot of machine tool supplies. Also Carr-Lane has them,
under "leveling feet".
