Thank you much for the advice, Mike. I for sure will not let it stay the way it is right now with the color differences. I did not know that car spray paint could be administered on the case, one learns something new every day! I will definitely check this out.
While giving advices, I for the third time have used Vanish spot remover spray ( pink bottle) on a HVM tabletop felt, and again it works wonders for the turntable felt. Process: Sprayed, 10 minute working time, rinsed in hot water, before using a hair dryer for some minutes, and then left to air dry for a couple of days. Don't put the turntable back on too soon and close the lid though, since foam residue/water will easily weaken/remove the decal on the record lid panel, something we of course don't want to happen, and in particular not for this Electrola machine
Yes, I did this mistake on the first turntable I tested this process on, a light blue HMV 101.
PS. I had to answer rather quickly to this post, I realized I just passed the 666 post, and did not want that post to be the last post today
PS 2. The gramophone has a HMV 59 motor, I just checked the motor.
