I saw that.  That is an option, but, if someone can send me a tracing
of the real shoe that fits in that plastic mount tray, maybe I could
cobble up a real thing.  It looks like it is just an aluminum or steel
plate of maybe 1/16th inch thickness.

Nah... cdrom.... cdrom.... cdrom.... fast, quick, simple, and it works,
although I still have a fettish for spinning tapes... 9 track reel tapes,
that bites me sometimes.....(:+}}...  I get real strange looks in the
surplus diving pit feeding frenzies, when I ask folks for 9 track reels.
It is fun to watch their quizzled looks.
