A source for turntable felt?

[Tampa Don]

Hey everyone!
A few months ago on the defunct OTVMMB someone posted a referral for a source for heavy-duty turntable felt. I believe it was the website of a woman who sold all types of material, including wool felt in both green and gold. Did anyone earmark the site?

Moo had the link on his board: http://www.oneoftheflock.com/

I purchased some a while ago and the woman was quite nice to deal with.

Thanks, Brad.
That was the site I was looking for. Any suggestions on colors that look authentic to the originals?

Don,

I believe that you are referring to this post, by Mooo:

ladies and Gents,

I have found this to be the ideal felt to use if you just got to replace that tattered, torn and stained felt on your turntables. It is a wool blend so it has a nice original nap to it. Not cheesy like the acrylic crap they sell at fabric stores. Great lady to work with too and she doesn't kill you with jacked up shipping costs...

The green is called moss and can be sold as long as you need for $9 per yard ($4.50 half yards). The orthophonic color is called Copper Kettle and comes in 12X18 pieces for I think $1.85 each. BUT make sure you tell her you want the copper "UNFELTED" which is where they prewash it for hobbyists. Sometimes it takes longer to get the copper that way but she always has the Moss which is awesome on a machine... not too green and not to light... just nicely aged look. Your screen may throw off the color but I think you will be pleased if you need some. The nap is what is really nice too.

Regards

Mooo

Note that I updated the e-mail with the one linked off of the web site.

He later added:

UPDATE: She is keeping a small inventory of the Copper "Orthophonic" color on hand for fast delivery.

Yes, that was indeed the post. Thanks for posting here. It answers all my questions.

Here is another great set of directions photographed and written up by Mooo; I cut out the images and formatted it so that it would look better on this page.

If you guys can think of any more content that you would like to see resurrected, please let me know; I’ll definitely see what I can do.
