@@wywot great idea, I looked into it on that jungle website and it seems glue sticks common every color of the rainbow, including dark, green and red. I am going to give this a try along with some ideas I’ve been working on for making my own isolator gaskets, but I’m not sure how that one’s going to work out. I also scored a sheet of green leather material that might give me what I need to patch in the missing little bit of rexine on the case. It’ll never be an exact match because age has colored it, but it will be close.
@@xXBURITOOXx I am happy I could be of assistance, being in Sweden you probably have better access than I do to both HMV and electrola as both would have been sold in Sweden before the war.
@@xXBURITOOXx there is no gap. It just sits on there glued down to the metal with a raised edge around the outside of the turntable. That’s just a bump in the metal not anything to hook to. This is how all the HMV’s do it also.
@@spencerbergquist781 Electrola was the name of the record label, it refers to electrically recorded records. They were by this time, part of EMI same as HMV and Columbia. I don’t have a great deal of information on the history of this company except that the 106 amongst other types of gramophones where produced by Electrola so the people who bought their records, had something to play them on that the company can make a profit from. Just like how the Victor company had the Victor record label along with a huge factory, making machines to play them. after the war, only the record label remained as the companies facilities were either bomb damaged, or shipped off to the east
New rubber feet can be made from hot melt glue sticks cut to length and then coloured. Works a treat

True, it a lot easier to find brass No 4,s here and they hardly cost anything.
Have no a VV 6 with a Exhibition which I have repaired thanks to you 😊
Is there a gap around turntable rim for the felt to be to pushed into?
Just wondering if it is the original?
Thanks for you work from Sweden. 👍
