Technics SL-110 feet?

Are the feet on a Technics SL-110/1100 interchangeable with the 1200 series (MK2 and beyond)? I have an opportunity to pick an armless SL-110 that is nearly complete, but it is missing the feet. I was hoping I could use this as an opportunity to upgrade the 110 with some of the Isone footers from KAB.

The SL-110/1100/1100a and original SL-1200 use a unique column foot.

Later MK II1200s use a different footing.
 
I wouldn't pass on that SL-110 just because it doesn't have any feet. You will probably have to buy a used broken SL-1100 and steal the feet off of it. I have never seen just the feet for sale. I would just lay it on a piece of thick foam until I found some feet. Or you can screw some long bolts where the feet go and use those for feet until you get the right feet. Here is a picture of my 1100 so you can see what the feet look like.

Wether all the feeet are there or not you should buy it. The original SL-110 and SL-1100 look somewhat silly with the tall feet and I'll have you know there was an optional skirt of wood that fit around the base to hide the tall feet, so just the bottom part were visible.
You can make such a skirt yourself using some leftover woodpieces glued together and then stained in a dark color.
This way you can conceal the feet you make for it but just making the skirt long enough to obscure most of the feet.
I got an original SL-1100 wo a skirt and I will be making one when I get the time to sift through my dads shed for wood parts.
I have an extra EPA-99 arm with mechanics for the lift, if you need it. But I do not have the armboard itself. I bought this arm before I found a complete working deck, doh!.

I picked up a spare bottom base, feet, and stock arm board a bit back.

Wonder if they came off that bottomless, footless 110/1100 that just sold?

And i thought they look silly with the skirt. I love the look of 1100A which is why i bought mine in 76 in fact I put it back in rotation just the other day.
 
They don't show up every day but I'v seen the SL-110/1100 feet listed on Ebay. Just keep looking they will show up like everything else. In the interim you can use temporary feet until the real feet materialize. Just me but my preference is not to make modifications that can't be reversed especially with collectable TTs.
