I have noticed an issue with the 116X I recently purchased. The gum rubber used to link the cone to the frame on the clarifiers has deteriorated to the point that only a sliver is left on each of them.
I know that those used to be reproduced by someone 20 years ago... but I cannot find any reference anymore.
What have people used to replace those?

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
