Im trying to locate 2 new grommets that support the speaker in a 45C Butterfly. Anyone know what works? Renovated Radios sells a bunch of different ones, but none specifically for this application.
Im thinking about trying the grommets that are used to support the tuner cap on the Philco 70 and 90. Anyone every try this?
Thanks

A grommet is a grommet. We are not talking hifi and fine acoustic tuning. If it fits, use it.
