I looked for a grooved carpet to replace mine, which is red and awful



I found one here in France but not near me  :oops:
delivery is of course possible but 24 € for it (36 € TTC for one meter)

Width : 120 cm
Thickness : 6 mm

I think it's the best similar I can found



What do you think about ?

i have a piece of that rubber in my house, bet the shipping costs would be stupid or i'd send it to you, maybe if posting it is cheaper than 36 euros its worth it for you to pay postage? if i get time today ill look at postage costs

So, another day  :D
Some new parts and every day more I work more work I have  :?

There are some good and bad news.

the good one after removing the bezel and monitor Bezel Plexi, I could see the the Amplifone and no burn, no visible problem except the dot on the center of course.



Control Panel




The Cash Box I found One Piece de 5 francs and 2 de 1 Franc
and the two floor cover, very difficult to remove them.



the bad one was more wood crumbled, moisted....

ok, dimensions of the piece needed please, and if you can indicate which way the stripes run, from side to side in the cab or front to back of the cab, obviously this will say if the pieces i have are appropriate. surely i can send it for less than €60  :shock: i will start researching. do not buy this until i can see if i can help.
i can get this stuff free, not stolen i promise, but it may involve a wait if the piece i have is the wrong size.

strange question, but could you get to the zenith in paris  , who knows i may even be working there soon, if not maybe a friend will be, and could bring it, its worked once for a forum transaction like this from uk to holland

The ribs run from left to right (when you are sitting in it).

SAFE measures:

Wide (left to right): 65 cm. (that is the width of the cabinet). Deep: 60 cm.

Note that the mat is running under the speakerboard.
