I know what you mean about the little Orthos. I like the sound of my Granada, and it does not even have the folded horn! (I am looking for a new home for the Granada though, in case anyone desires it. The Granada lives in North Attleborough, MA)

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.
