Re: [Phono-L] Orthophonic Reproducer Gaskets question...
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.

With the help of my Nipper friend, we solved the mystery of what the Nipper item is. The item is listed on e-bay (item 300383123497 ) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=300383123497ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT It is a dog and gramophone figure and my Nipper friend, Barbara Regan solved the mystery of what it is. The item is the top of the radio on page 3-90 of our Nipper Collectibles book. The only reason she knew that it was the top piece of the radio is because she has the whole radio. Actually, it's in 3 pieces. The top piece is the dog and gramophone on the red vinyl, the second piece is an insert which is a little red fabric-covered dish that you could put coins or other small items in and the bottom is where the actual parts of the transistor radio are. She didn't think anyone would realize it unless they actually owned the piece. She just thought the dog and gramophone on red looked familiar and finally found the radio. Bill wrote us in regard to the item and we did not recognize the item, but thanks to Barbara the Nipper mystery is solved. I am sure Bill will be changing the description of the item on e-bay to inform buyers of what the item actually is. Happy New Year, Happy Nipper Collecting, and looking forward to Orlando and a great time with phono friends.
