I just bought a Victrola 8-9, but it has a felt turntable cover. I want to put it back to original with a green leatherette cover 12". Thanks, marc.

Not all 8-9's had leatherette turntable covers. Mine is felt and original. Show us a photo of yours.

Thanks Jerry. I'll take delivery of mine at the APS show. But I think I can show you a pic.

Someone is selling turntable leather now on EBay.

I saw the ones on Ebay, but they are the wrong color and texture. I'm really looking for an original.

It is nice tough vinyl material made for covering guitar amps.

PM me.
