Starting to rebuild

Using the old turntable felt as a template I cut a new one from black suede fabric. This didn't work as well as expected and for some reason was too small to fit. I ended up cutting another one a few centimetres wider.

I have sprayed the horn black and recovered the deck in a red faux leather imported from the Netherlands. Its quite thick and soft in a nappa style. I had considered using real leather but it was four times the price...and I'm not sure yet wether I'll ruin it.
