CharliePhono wrote:Hello Wyatt. I just ordered new gaskets and a flange for an HMV 104. Will I be receiving the same items as in your post? I ask because I know you are always on a quest for new and better soundbox restoration materials and thought perhaps the silicone material you speak of wasn't yet available to the general public. Thanks!
With no response forthcoming, I presume the gasketing and flange I ordered from you are standard issue rubber. There was no mention in the eBay listing about silicone.
I think you may be confusing Wyatt Marcus aka MicaMonster with Wyatt's Musical Americana, a well known phonograph parts dealer. The gaskets and flanges described by MicaMonster in this thread are specially made and not available from the regular parts dealers. If you ordered from Wyatt's Musical Americana you will quite certainly receive regular rubber gaskets and flanges.

Actually, I'm digging in to a large bowl of crow here. It was late in a long day when I posted. The confusion is entirely mine as I had thought "MicaMonster" was Walt Sommers. I saw "W" and thought Walt. Walt/Wyatt, not even close. I have done business with Wyatt's Musical Americana as well. Whoo boy -- time for a dementia pill.

The first time I had a kidney stone, it occurred to me that putting pain receptors in ureters was a very poor engineering decision. :)

very glad are enjoying the #2!!!!!!!!!

in reply to another inquiry, I'm not selling kits on eBay. The main problem is that the flange is a labor to remove, and a delicate labor to install. I simply can't sell kits to achieve what I do here in my workshop

I thought that this board was not supposed to be political.


Falanges and the phono people who love them?

I don't think so.
