Marantz feet normal warp?

[yamaha94]

Hello! I have a Marantz 1030 I picked up recently and all of the amplifier feet are all angled the same way. Basically not perfectly flat. Just a wierd quirk I noticed. Are the Marantz feet on the comparable 22xx and 42xx models the same? This unit is in fantastic shape im thinking maybe the feet were replaced possibly with an aftermarket set that wasnt a perfect mold?

Ive attached a picture for reference of one side.

Thanks!

...or the chassis isn't perfectly level.

Is there a known procedure to level the chassis? seems untouched, unopened. But again.... who knows right?

The feet are usually mounted to bent over "flaps" of the chassis so can be bent if the unit is dropped. Just unplug it, flip it over and pull off the bottom cover. Often some bending of the mounting point with a screwdriver to bring it back to square will cure that.

That makes a lot of sense! thank you!

Thank you rbuckner and jd3rdcoast! i removed the bottom cover and straightened them out using an adjustable wrench and tightening on the flaps and bending carefully. I used a level to help with the process. sits perfect!
