Have a nice 16X console I want to restore and noticed the rubber insulators under the tuner are deteriorating and the tuner is loose.
Looking in the front dial, it looks like the tuner is sitting about 1/4 inch too low.
Same with e 4 rubber insulators on the corners of the chassis.
Anyone know the thicknesses of these insulators so I can make new ones?
Thanks for any advice.
