Pathé Reproducer question

[stetam]

OK, just got the motor part I needed, reassembled and played this Rishell for the first time. It sounds like crap. I did notice on the reproducer the Mica Diaphragm was in nice shape but the rubber gasket was cracked, hard and had shrunk. Think that is my problem and how do you replace the gasket in these Pathé reproducers?

I think I answered my own question. I removed the old gasket/tubing and lifted out the diaphragm. Am I correct saying I need to replace the inner as well as the outer rubber? If so what size tubing would be correct.

Yes, you need to replace both inner and outer rubber gaskets. I used Exhibition tubing on mine and it worked.
