I bought a Milwaukee (model 6000) at a garage sale for $5.00, and it needs a
new bottom pad, and I have a couple of other sanders in the same condition.
Where and what can I find to replace the missing bottom pad? Most came with
some kind of sponge pad or rubber, but I can't think of where I might find
something like that. Carpet pad would be too spongy, and I don't know where I
would find rubber that thick.
All ideas appreciated!

That's true... the thick rubber backed mouse pads do make an excellent
replacement stick on sander pads, I have done two 1/3 sheet sanders & two
palm sanders out of a large free advertising type mouse pad. If anything it
is better than the original pad.

IIRC Kingspor sell replacement pads for a variety of sanders.

Contact Delta support for replacement parts would be my first
suggestion
