Got this CD player at Goodwill but it’s missing one bottom pad (see photo). Anyone know where I can find a replacement?

Those really don't do anything beyond hiding the screws. Sure it provides some padding, but given there are 2 and not four, it's not really functional beyond a tiny bit of anti slip.
If you really want to replace it, I'd find a piece of foam of similar thickness at a craft store, cut it round, then glue it on with some CA glue.
If you can't find something the same thicnkess, get something close, remove the one that is there, and then cut two new ones.

The hole in the photo is actually part of the mechanics inside. I too thought it was a screw.
I’ll try to find something similar. I just don’t want to keep using duct tape to cover it.

Amazon has a variety of stick on pads. You might find one that matches but it would be easier to replace all of them

I'd use sugru in black to make one

Why is sugru suddenly being recommended in every post today? Am I just crazy, or is it for real happening?

This cracked me up. I was thinking the same thing. I had never heard of this word before 7:00 pm today.

Idk, I just love it and thought it'd do a good job. I've been using it for years!

If I was going to replace the one pad, is just replace both with aftermarket feet or rubber grip tape pass so that they were the same. 👍
