Two questions:
1.) Does anyone know what will get the adhesive from the rubber feet off the plastic case without harming the case?
2.) Does anyone have a source for replacement feet?

I removed rest of the glue with a screw driver - scratched it off.
I am not a collector - so no problem for me.
Anyway - you won't see any scratches when the foot is replaced.

After pulling off and scraping the old foot off, try IPA solvent cleaner.
See post above.

In a pinch, WD40 works too.

Does anyone know of a seller of rubber feet in the EU, or know of a brand \ specification of these feet so I can source locally?

Re: ZX81/TS1000 Rubber Feet
I use “Solid Neoprene Adhesive Backed Rubber Gasket Sheet”.
Just buy the thickness you want and cut to size.
I get it slightly thicker than the standard feet as I fit a Wespi switch underneath (coming out between the cooling grill slats) the zeddy when refurbing.
