HMV 102C Case Feet

Do you have a suggested recipe for HMV 102 blue?

[Phono48]

That can be a difficult one! For instance, some of the blue 102s I've seen are a really bright blue, whilst others, like mine, are more of a navy blue. I did make new feet for my blue Electrola 88, by using the standard blue with a tiny bit of black, which turned out too dark, but with a tiny bit of white mixed in, came out well.

Thanks, Barry.

I found this guide which has some helpful custom colour suggestions:

The feet did not protrude over the rexine, they were a straight solid cylinder with a rounded edge where they protruded from the case. I have made dozens with SUGRU, mixing the various shade to get a perfect match. I simply made a solid cylinder that slid fairly easily into the hole, and protruded about ⅜" above the case, then let it harden for a day. Removed it from the case, rounded the top edge with fine sandpaper, then trimmed the bottom to give the desired length, and glued it back in the case using an epoxy resin. Haven't had any problems yet!

Only issue with something like this, is that it's very hard to get the epoxy off again if you ever need to repair again. I might find a different glue for this purpose if I didn't want to just kick the problem down the road or make it worse.
