What chassis washers should I use for the Model 70 and 37-620? I normally purchase reproduction rubber from http://www.renovatedradios.com/parts.html. It looks like the 37-620 uses 7/8" max diameter washers. But what thickness? Renovated radios carries a CW4 which is 7/8" diameter and 3/8" thick, or CW5 which is 1/4" thick. The existing washers are mashed flat and flush to the cabinet base.

The hole for the model 60 is a bit larger than 1" in my radio, and there are currently NO washers installed. So I have no idea how the diameter or how thick the washers should be. Renovated radios has a CW6 which is 1" diameter and 1/4" thick, used for the Philco 116 and 690 ( CW8 ). I could also use their 7/8" diameter CW4 or CW5 (either 1/4" or 3/8" thick). The also sell a CW6 which is 1/8" thick for use as a shim for thicker needs.

Recommendations?

Thanks!
