Wot I've always known them as. A rubber 'foot' that screws on. Originally
for between a wood toilet seat and the pan. Most hardware stores used to
sell them in a variety of sizes. Usually 4 on a card.

In this case its a foot for an old Quad amp. Held on by a pan head M4
screw. Would obviously replace all four, as I doubt I'd find an exact
original.

Search on seat buffers on Ebay brings up modern plastic toilet ones -
usually rectangular. And glued on. Or spares for Seat cars.

Thinking I'd get them easily, went to Wickes. Nothing. Looked online at
B&Q and Screwfix. Nothing.

They are called feet rather than buffers. Or Bumpers.
https://uk.farnell.com/c/fasteners-mechanical/fasteners-fixings/spacers-feet/feet

Also for furniture:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184344276768

Most feet for equipment tend to be of the adhesive variety.

I tend to scavenge old bits of 'hifi' (cassette decks etc.) and take the feet off them.
They typically are fastened on with a machine screw or self-tapper

I don't know about calling them "buffers" but any search for "screw on
rubber feet" finds what you want, as opposed to the stick-on variety.

They are often called 'bumpers'. Amazon has loads, some of which are
rubber and screw on.

IME experience old ones are hard and/or distorted. New feet aren't
necessarily something you think of when tidying vintage kit, but they
