$6.00 for another 20 years or so, I recon that is cheap. They cost 5.2 Euro on the Stamann website www.jukebox-world.de for the three grommets. Regards Alan Hood ami-man UK |

Tony Tony, I have a Rockola starlet. What symtoms do you have when they need replaced? Thanks, Jerry Normally the record plays slow, sometimes you get a loud hum. If you lift and remove the turntable you will find the motor hanging from 3 grommets. They should be soft and pliable. If they get hard you can get the vibration from the motor finding it's way to the needle and cartridge and you have a hum. Most of the time they deteriorate and the motor starts to hang sideways, that's when it plays slow. If you change them, don't loose the spacer inside of them. (I think I just saw John mention that not long ago) And when you replace the turntable, push the idler wheel (the rubber wheel) in and under the turntable or it won't play at all. Tony |

But why pay $2/piece when I just found them for $0.56 a piece. $4.95 per PKG of 9 |

Ray I left it out just as a tease. Or maybe I should buy them and sell them for $1.50? Nah, here you go http://www.tubesandmore.com/ click on "Rubber & Antenna Items/Phono" then to "Motor Mounting Grommets". I bought 3 packs of 9, I repair jukes for a living. So one could imagine the reason I didn't want to pay $2 a piece. If I only needed them for one juke it wouldn't be too bad, but the difference between $14.85 and $56. is quite considerable. Tony |

Tony- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Many thanks to Tony and others for the grommet source tip. I need these for my 1455. My metal spacers are missing, and would appreciate information and /or a source on the proper size so I can either make 3, or buy them. I also need the 2 smaller grommets for my tone arm which I am rebuilding and repainting. The grommets crumbled when I disassembled, but were very dry and loose before I took this apart - lots of side play on the pivot pin. Does anyone know a source for the 2 small tonearm grommets? Or perhaps the size I should look for at a radio supply store? Thanks Jack |
