Re Damon's question about red fibre gasket material.  I am not a
88-note player expert but would suspect that he is describing leather.
Some had blotter paper, but I would suggest using leather as a gasket
in any player that has two pieces screwed together.  I have found
decent leather at the Tandy Leather store.  Unfortunately there are no
Tandy Leather stores here anymore.
