QRS gasket

Being a player piano enthusiast, I couldn’t pass up a really clean QRS portable.
The gasket where the soundbox joins the tone arm is in bad shape and a bit wobbly.
What kind of material do I need, and where can I find it. Other than that, the machine plays great!

Cut a strip of rubber from a silicone baking sheet. Punch a little hole for your set screw. I have also been known to cut old rubber boots. For the same application

My local Home Depot sells sheets of rubber- they are used to make flat plumbing gaskets.

Found “packing rubber” at Ace hardware. The 1/16” fit perfectly, and was even the same color!
Amazing little portble.. I got it because I’m also into player pianos...........
