New Felt Turntable Pad

I do not like the green turntable pad that   came with my Edison A100.  

I went to Jo-Ann Fabric and bought some wool felt for $3 ($18 a yard, 50% coupon, needed 1/3 yard)

I removed the original felt from the turntable



and then used rubber cement to first
glue down an under piece of felt


and then glue down the new wine color piece.


Something to watch put for: If, like me, you had the original felt pad with an additional felt pad added you will need to  maintain that height or adjust your reproducer height.  The image below shows the limit pin with the reproducer sitting on a reproduction with only one piece of turntable felt.  It is too low, it should be out of the taper area.  Adding a second layer of felt fixed the problem or the same could have been done by adjusting the mechanics
