help with a wobbly control panel base (showcase cab)

IntruderAlert:

wait a second.. you're talking about your MAMESTROSITY cab?
If you've got the control panel base mounted securely to the rest of the cab I don't see how it could wobble that much

maybe instead of looking at the feet you should be looking at a better way to bolt everything together securely

take some pics of the whole thing from the sides and from the top

I've been looking at your project and am a little worried about the way that everything is held together with those L brackets
That may be the root of your problem

But right off the bat I'm thinking about 2 long pieces of MDF maybe 6" wide or so screwed along the bottom of the entire thing on the right and left sides like baseboard trim on a wall with several screws in each section
You'd want the screws long enough to go almost through or all of the way through 
Recess the screws a little and fill in with spackling, paint it all black of course and put black T-Mold on the edges of it
That shoud help tremendously

But if you post some pics we might see some alternative methods of fastening it all together

Most large machines that I've seen that come in more than one piece just slide together and then bolt down in a couple spots. You just need a way to interlock them. Mounting them flush against each other won't do the trick.
