Does anyone know the pitch of the screws that hold the rubber feet to the base? Thanks.
If I remember correctly there are no screws. The feet are quite hard plastic and press-fit into holes in the bottom plate.

Ah ok. Thanks Martin.
These work fine and are easy!

Good idea. I was actually asking about the original feet because I was thinking about replacing them with an adjustable type that allows for leveling. Right now, my 8002 has to rest on a glass shelf that is angled slightly, forcing me to shim the feet with coins to get the chassis and platter level. It works, but adjustable feet would be more convenient.
I'd like adjustables for my 4002 too, but so far haven't found anything low-profile to suit the style of the turntable.

Here are stick on feet in different sizes

Thanks Soren.
I decided to experiment with putting four of these rubber anti-vibration pads under the four stock feet for increased isolation. Then I bought large black rubber washers of the same diameter as the bottom of pads to act as shims for leveling. It looks surprisingly good and seems to have improved the sound, making the bass a little tighter and improving instrument separation.
They look a little big to me 2.5" . will order some and try them.
It's true that their size isn't in sync with the rest of the Jacob Jensen design aesthetic. For me, the simple flat black color and the shape that resembles purpose-built isolating turntable feet elevates them to inoffensive bordering on semi-decent. And did I mention they only cost me $4 at a thrift store?

Ok, photos will be taken/evidence gathered tonight!
Technical difficulties uploading a pic. Stay tuned!
Tough to get a good shot because of how close the shelf is to the floor (by necessity).
