Hi All I just picked up a great sounding (and looking) Viva-Tonal 602 this weekend. The only things not up to spec, IMHO, are two cosmetic repairs done: its bumper pads and turntable felt.
The bumpers are just the thick, light tan felt you find in hardware stores. The turntable felt is a dark teal/green mix. Thankfully the grill cloth is original which is brown. I'd like to replace the bumpers and turntable felts. Does anyone know what colors Columbia used in 1927? I know the older Grafonolas from a decade earlier used an olive green (or what over time came to that shade now). For the Viva-Tonals, did they stay with green or switch to browns (given the grill cloth is brown)? I don't know if they even cared to match! lol Thanks! _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
