If you have a Ace hardware near you go to their nuts and bolts section. There are loads of small parts in drawers that you can find something to make a foot part out of and just glue it on. That's what I have done in the past.

For those in the same boat in the UK, maplin have started to sell a mouldable rubber product called sugru which is very useful for this kind of repair

Bolex in Switzerland (but they are very expensive) have spares for Eumig projectors.

If you cannot get the original foot, dig thru your junk box and fine two matching items from something else and swap both front feet. Save the good one, and someday you will run across the replacement. (When I am not looking for something, I often find it!) I once use 2 soda bottle caps for front feet - then, about a week later, found the whole thing at a garage sale for $5.00.

maybe in the storage in austria they still have some foots. but mostly you have to fix them youselfs. what i mostly do is gleuing it tigether with an adhesive called scotchweld from 3m. it's a two compund glue and it is ridiculously strong

I just checked out that Sugru product on its website as I'd never heard of it. What a great idea. I've already found lots of uses for it around my home and garden. Many thanks for bringing this to our attention John.

I need the rear rollers for this machine, where the film exits. It looks like a small box but it's the rollers and cover for this box that I need.

I have the complete box available.( Actually there are two "Half rollers" missing but film feeds fine).
PM or email me with your postal address and it's yours with my compliments.
