Anyone know if the back rubber isolator, back flange are available for machines made in England ie. Decca A2 portable Trench machine and where I might purchase one?. Thanks, Jan

Here's a picture of what I'm looking for.

I shouldn't imagine you can buy these new as the reproducer is manufactured by a smaller brand however I have had good results with surgru it is a mouldable rubber. https://www.amazon.com/Sugru-Mouldable- ... B008URBC9I

Hope this helps I think you can buy it cheaper.

Thank you so much. I'll give it a try,

I've successfully used an Exhibition back flange, drilled new holes and filled the unused holes with black silicone.

Andreas,
I tried fitting the exhibition flange on the tonearm and it's just a little too small so it won't go on. It sure would have been an easy fix though if only it would fit. Thank you, Jan
