Item:364807236330Victor Victrola & HMV No.2 Reproducer Rubber Tone Arm Isolator. Victor Victrola and HMV No.2 Victrola Soundbox-Reproducer Rubber Tone Arm Isolator with Brass Insert Ready To Install (Reproducers shown in pictures are for example only and are not included.) Most
Victor and HMV No.2 Reproducers in original condition require replacement of
this gasket because most of them are as hard as a rock, cracked or loose. Old original
isolators are actually very easy to replace and do not require any
special tools. Careful use of a simple heat gun set to low or a common household hairdryer
is all you need to warm, soften and then remove the old isolator in. We
have safely removed thousands of isolators this way. NEVER use a torch
as a heat source. The flame tip of a torch is much too hot and may
severely damage your casting. NOTE: This
isolator is installed into the rear flange on the back of your
reproducer and is held in place using two set screws. It is designed to
perfectly fit the Victor Victrola and HMV No.2. The inside
diameter (i.e. of the brass portion) is designed to mount exclusively on
(smaller diameter) pre-Orthophonic tone arms. These will NOT fit Orthophonic tone arms. Ask questions is you need help and do not
assume anything. Important
Tip: A hardened or mushy rubber isolator, although it may still mount
to your reproducer and seem to hang in there, not only reduces the
performance of the reproducer but it is also hazardous to your records.
The hardness of a rubber or other material is often specified using a
parameter known as "durometer". During play, a good rubber flange, in
part, helps the reproducer track the groove by absorbing some of the
energy caused by inefficient needle and diaphragm movement during record
play. When the rubber has either become hardened (durometer is too
high) or mushy (durometer is too low) the flange cannot efficiently do
its job. If it is too hard, then the vibrations caused by the needle
during play cannot be dampened, tracking is poor, and because of the
mass of the large tone arm, vibrations are ultimately transmitted back
to the needle tip where they inflict damage (cut) in the groove walls.
If the rubber is too soft, excessive movement of the reproducer body
(tilting) results which not only causes poor tracking but also damages
the groove walls. We figured it all out so you don't have to! Please
observe the quality of the parts that we are selling. Even though you
may be happy to just find anything that seems like it will work because
yours is missing or busted, take a minute and examine what you are
buying.
