which is FOUR "ideal" (though not oem) CASE FEET (all of which were missing from the case) on eBay for $7 for the four new case FEET (postage included) and it only taking about three minutes (with the pop rivet gun - using special "peel" rivets) to install them...NO problems/NO issues and the rivets fit BOTH the new feet AND the original holes in the case cortex - where the original feet were located. These feet (as attached) are VERY snug, and feel like integral parts of the case.
(This is - finally, after looking for many months - my F tuba hard case (albeit just a little-bit-too-large - as it would also would fit a 186 or 188).
I still have an array of Cronkhite-made bags, but they're hanging overhead (on a rack in the master bath suite) in the event that I become one of those where "ten pounds less to carry" makes a difference.)
