Couple of points:
1. Where can black rubber feet best be found? I resorted to using little dots of "plumbers' goop" on mine, because I couldn't buy anything like the proper part for less than a king's ransom.
2. Pismo batteries, on the other hand, seem to be available new for $40-50-ish on eBay these days, which is about as cheap as it gets. Unlike Wallstreet batteries, which can be cussedly finicky, the Pismo's seem to be blessedly robust. I'd recommend ordering one of the $40-50 ones if you've money to spend.
Having said #2, mind you, I recently took the cells from a Wallstreet battery, cut away the number needed (the Wallstreet has more cells), and popped them in a Pismo battery case. Almost no soldering was required, except for the relatively small matter of reconnecting the wiring to the circuitry. Works perfectly. You could probably do the same with most any LiIon battery pack of recent vintage if you have access to a spare.
