P-245 Victrola No. 2 Red Gasket Set with wax droplets

P-245 Victrola No. 2 Red Gasket Set. (A set consists of 2 gaskets, one for each side of the mica diaphragm.)  Color is actually a bit brighter than in the photo.  (These are soft and compress properly, better than the originals which were made of one piece red rubber.)  Included are droplets of wax that can be used to seal the needle bar ends, both inside and outside, to the diaphragm.

Not included are the two white gaskets spacers and the old instruction sheet shown in this old photo since they are not needed.  [Shipping charge: Depending on the total purchase. Check the shipping rate chart in this web site.]

Regarding the wax droplets: After the reproducer has been completely rebuilt, firmly place a droplet on the metal parts on each side of the diaphragm where the needle bar stem and mica diaphragm are connected (screwed together).  Then, with a clean soldering gun, heat the needle bar stem on the outer side and close to, but not on, the wax droplet.  Heat just enough (not more) for the wax to melt over the connection on both sides of the diaphragm.
