Ediphone gasquets replacement, or make them?

Post by Mormon S »

The Gasquets on my epiphone reproduces are long gone. Are there suck thing as new gasquets for this size? If not, how could I make my own? Need suggestions on what to do.

You can make your own, buy some rubber sheet about the same thickness, this can be found on ebay and use a craft hole cutter to carefully cut two holes to create a ring the same size as the original gasket, then carefully remove the old gasket and diaphragm, being very careful around the cutting stylus, clean it up, then on two old recorders I used bees wax to hold it all in place, I carefully melted it using the heat from a soldering iron, you have to be careful not to remove the stylus, or if you do make sure it goes back on in exactly the right place or else it may not work

Yeah, I would think that you would have to make your own gaskets in this case...
