Thanks for the helpful info everyone! (Apologies for the late reply but I only subscribe to the digest.)
I contacted the youtube poster of the videos that DanKj linked to and posted on the phonoland board where I'm also a member. Based on the responses from all three sources, it's Green-land for me! :) I found one tiny oil stained mini-bumper in the cabinet late last night, once green, so that confirms everyone's input. I ordered a Victor sized green felt replacement from Walt @ Gettysburg and will trim it down to size. I have leftovers from a botched turntable job on a Grafonola I restored a few months ago which I'll use for bumpers. Ron - Interesting about the velvet. Apparently they used felt early on, as in my case, but by the 700 & 800 series Columbia had models with velvet (I learned this via phonoland.) Does the velvet help make the records sound smoother? (Just kidding, though perhaps there's an audiophile who might ardently argue that.) Thanks again all.
