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.

I am working on making some. Here is what I put on my 8-35.

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

PM me.

In pro audio, it's referred to as Tolex
