Yes, I believe they are neoprene, and they are .02" thick. Id have to go
back and look at the price guide to see what they cost. Considering what was
left of the old gaskets, and putting in the new ones, and doing the bearing
job on it, it sounds great. It's amazing the amount of sound generated from
that little Orthophonic! Not quite a Credenza, but very respectable for what
it is. I was going to sell the 4-20, but not anymore :) I still like my
Credenza too. It's fun to tell new visitors there isn't an electric
amplifier in there, most of the time they look at me like I wasn't telling
the truth.

I just got some from Ron Sitko to rebuild the reproducer on my 4-20 and
they
are nice, and very reasonable as well.

Hello Al,
The original looks like paper coated with shellac to me. I have spoken
to
people who rebuild them and they tell me you get better sound from
neoprene. I would assume Ron Sitko is selling them.

Does anyone on this learned list know what material was used as gaskets
on
the Victor Orthophonic reproducer? I have been asked to make a punch
and
die to cut them out but if someone is already making them I don't intend
on
reinventing the wheel.
Thanks and best wishes to all on the list,
Al
