[Phono-L] Orthophonic Reproducer Gaskets question...

Tue Mar 23 06:20:42 PDT 2010

I know what you mean about the little Orthos.  I like the sound of my
Granada, and it does not even have the folded horn!  (I am looking for a new
home for the Granada though, in case anyone desires it. The Granada lives in
North Attleborough, MA)

Yes, I believe they are neoprene, and they are .02" thick. Id have to go 
back and look at the price guide to see what they cost. Considering what was

left of the old gaskets, and putting in the new ones, and doing the bearing 
job on it, it sounds great. It's amazing the amount of sound generated from 
that little Orthophonic! Not quite a Credenza, but very respectable for what

it is. I was going to sell the 4-20, but not anymore :) I still like my 
Credenza too. It's fun to tell new visitors there isn't an electric 
amplifier in there, most of the time they look at me like I wasn't telling 
the truth.
