Restoring dial surface
#3

Harlan Wrote:Well I am wondering what the most practical way is to restore this flock like surface. I'm assuming I should
first try to remove all of the old material. Then is there some one step process of maybe spraying on a new
flocked surface or does it require more work than that?
What options might there be and what products and web sites might be a source for the material?

Thanks very much,
Harlan

Here's what I did on an RCA:

I removed the plate and cleaned the old flocking under running hot water using a blunt knife.
Since I didn't want to go the trouble of re-flocking, even though I have the kit to do it as I
re-flock my own phono platters, I used a thin felt sheet from the dollar store (the RCA is a light brown).

Apply contact cement only on the dial plate. Wait a few minutes (just long enough to get it tacky to the touch)
then apply the felt. As good as re-flocking.
