Interesting. The brake and speed control that are on this machine look like they were nickel plated. I'm guessing this unit was a cheaply done parts assembly made to look like a P.

You are correct. It's purpose is to dampen the sound.The screws that hold the arm are oxidized, as is the. escutcheon and screws. The crank should be nickel plated. Please post your name so we know who you are.

This one has strips of felt-like material around the underside perimeter of the motorboard. Should they be there? The cabinet has countersunk areas where the mounting screws go into the case. I imagine the vibration damping material was there. Felt or rubber? Oh, other questions. Should the screws holding the support arm to the case be bright finish or blackened? Is the brake exactly the same as on other P machines. This one had a rubber washer mounted with an ugly screw and bolt fastening.
