Adding Feet to a TRS Model 102 for Better Viewing

The bigest problem(with the TRS Model 102) is the viewing angle, the desk in class slants away from the sitter and being on the tall side… well the mix just makes it hard to see the screen.  I needed to be able to change the view angle so…. after looking for a small and consolable “cooling stand” to prop things up….

Here is the Solution!
I found this at Radio Shack for about $8
It has 3 levels of rise, less that $8, light weight and easy to install.
Bellow are the feet out of the package.

You will also need alcohol swabs for cleaning.

Cleaning and Preping

Clean and prep your surface well.  I have had the feet on for over 2 years and they are still going strong.  

What’s that you see,  a maple leaf?   Yes this 102 did start off in Canada.. now if I can only find that Zed key.  Sorry folk I am full of bad humor.

Installing the Feet

Done, I just peel and stick, i put mine just bellow the cassette and modem ports and on the battery compartment.

It was simple and easy.  Your can do it too.
