I've recently restored a Philco 47-1230 console. Everything is about complete, but I need to know the proper size and channel thickness of the rubber gasket that surrounds the glass dial scale. The original piece was so dry and deteriorated that it just crumbled into dust when I removed the glass scale. I also need the size and thickness to put a new round gasket on a Zenith 8-S-563 from 1941. Will this modern rubber be any problem (tight fit and lay flat) to installing this on the round and concave piece of glass? Thanks for any help, shaler78
