Columbia Soundbox No. 8 Rubber - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi all

A while back I bought a Columbia Model 112 with the No. 8 soundbox. I'd now say it needs a new gasket as the sound quality has deteriorated.

I've looked online but I don't really know what rubber gaskets or sizing etc what to get. I'd rather not replace the entire soundbox if I can help it

Any help or ideas are appreciated

Thanks
