Hello eveyone,
Just wondering if you've ever rebuilt non-Victor reproducers using Victor Exhibition gasketing material? Not sure whether or not it lends itself to anything else.
Thank you.
What other reproducer brands is Exhibition tubing suitable for?

Yes, it can be used on any soundbox for which it has the correct gauge. The Decca Crescendo soundbox is one that I'm sure I rehauled with it.

I've used it to restore Sonora sound box's with excellent results.

As stated above, it's pretty much a universal gasket tubing for dozens of different makes & models, (with some notable exceptions). However, if you buy pre-cut tubing specifically for an Exhibition, you may find it's too short for other makes. Always best to buy a long, uncut length. Also, it helps if you cut the length just a bit longer than you might expect. This allows you to slightly compress the length of tubing when you install it. The compression will push the ends tightly together, both hiding the seam and preventing air leaks.

Thank you gentlemen. I am thinking about getting at least 5 feet for that purpose.
