Steve:
Sorry, I had seen the comments as to provide ones full name, didn’t realize how
until you asked for my last name that folks mean “at the end of the narrative”
because that is the only place to find the author’s name.
.
Thanks for the response and referral. In the event we have poor success, I
surely will use Mike and have a good relationship with Ron and haven’t had any
problem with his service and parts.
We really want to try , and only use them for ourselves. Just part of the
fever! *smile*

Bob who? Contact me steve_nor...@msn.com
I only ask so I can give you Mike's e-mail address. You may do as you please
but I would suggest getting some from Mike as he already does what you are
planning on doing using original inserts. I save up all my old inserts and
give them to Mike each year at the Orlando show. If you only need a few I have
a few extras.
Steve Medved here, Mike Arcuri makes Exhibition flanges using originals with
the process you are interested in doing. He sells them at around the same
price as the ones you are not happy with, I think it was $7.50 each. Most of
the time they are perfect, some times you need to remove the rubber from the
inside of the brass insert as they are tight because you will get a small about
of rubber on the inside.
The ones that Sitko has made vary in size and he does use originals, I have
gotten some that I had to open up, but the ones I have gotten lately from him
are perfect. He will take any part back, that is why I deal with him.
All I can say is see if they fit first, if they do not return them. If you
dealer will not take them back start dealing with Ron.
Rocky Mountain made a premium one for around $20 that the brass did not touch
the reproducer and the rubber looked perfect, but they are no longer in
business.

Listers:
Does anyone have a recommendation or comments concerning the manufacturing of
Exhibition reproducer back flange brackets, specifically where to obtain the
rubber / resin liquid?
A Friend and I are thinking of making them for our own use given the problems
we have experienced lately with ones purchased from an unnamed vender. Those
most recently obtained, apparently have poorly manufactured medal centers which
“stick” on the tonearm U-tube, to the point they need to be removed from the
reproducer and “wrestled” off with a tool!
Most needed is a source for the rubber liquid, as we have many original centers
and would only need to create a mold.
Any observations / comments / referrals would be appreciated.

Bob
