I am looking for a bottom housing foot & associated mounting screw (not a cord wrap rubber foot). I would also like to know where to get new air filter foam.

Jerry,
Original feet are very hard to find, except used. However, I have been making reproduction feet. Please check my site:

As for the mounting screw - the 465 and other scopes of that generation used a press-fit stud rather than a screw. I doubt you can find a screw with a small enough head to clear the chassis when it slides into the case.
Another hobbyist determined the type of the press fit stud, and a manufacturer. I don't know what kind of quantities they require, though.
I have one parts donor scope that I might share a stud from. I have to review my needs, though.
The air filter foam can be cut from air conditioner foam filter pads. One pad is enough for dozens of scopes. I could share a few.

I used to use countersunk-head screws with a lockwasher when repairing 465 cabinets.Worked fine.

Same as Jim, I recommend countersunk-head screws . I used plastic feet machined in a machine shop nearby.
For filter: Air conditioner or kitchen-exhaust filter mats, cut in shape work well. Easy available, at least here in europe ;-)
