Bob,

A cheap 'n easy solution for the rubber grommets can be found in the plumbing department of your local hardware store or home center. Get a package of the black rubber faucet washers that come in a quanity of a dozen or so. The ones that work the best have a slight cone shape to them and nestle in very nice. Don't screw it down real hard - just enough to keep the tuning condenser in place without flopping around.

Give it a try and let us know how it works. Good luck!
