Re: Victrola horn seal material
Did you also seal the back end of the cast iron horn, where it joins up with the cabinet? And also, the external casting that seals against the cabinet?

I am surprised no one has mentioned silicone caulking. I have used it on horn seals many times. Stays soft and seals well.

The only thing I did was coat the metal face generously with Johnson's paste wax. Should I seal the edges with wax?JerryVan wrote:Did you also seal the back end of the cast iron horn, where it joins up with the cabinet? And also, the external casting that seals against the cabinet?

Re: Victrola horn seal material
I would think it's as important as sealing the horn bell. If you really laid the Johnson's on thick then maybe that will do.tesch1932 wrote:The only thing I did was coat the metal face generously with Johnson's paste wax.
