Philco 77 hacked?
#33

Charlie
Regarding those rubber washer/spacers that you can't find.

I used new fuel hose sliced with a razor and smoothed on a grinder. Watch out for those fingers.
I know it sound a bit cheesy but results aren't bad and they don't rot very fast. Of course it can be had in many sizes and cut however tall you need. I took me a few tries to get it right.

It's easier to smooth the end of the hose first then cut to length and smooth the other end of the newly cut washer.
