Sega Genesis - Missing Rubber Foot

Post by RacingGamer5000 »

I bought a Sega Genesis off eBay, received it today & it's missing one of it's rubber feet on the bottom. Is it okay to play the console even though it will be unbalanced? Any solutions on how to fix it? Thanks!

Yeah, it will be fine. Since its not a CD console, wobbling isn't a issue. If you want to fix it though, either peel a rubber foot off some dead electronic item before tossing/recycling or look in a hardware store for a packet of sick on rubber feet to replace the missing one.

Agreed, I did the same thing; the sticky cloth feet work too. Best thing is to bring the system with you and check for the right size. Also might be fun to see reactions to a Genesis.

I know Radioshack has replacement feet. They will not have an exact replacement foot, but they come in at least a 4-pack, so I'd replace all of them so it sits even.

Thanks for all responses. I did get lucky, I found a seller on eBay who sells replacement parts for consoles, he has rubber feet for the Genesis Model 2.
