Hi Mark,
Here is a message I saved some time ago from Cal to a fellow who was
asking the same question.  Hope it helps  Before you order from Antique
Electronic Supply, you might also check at a large hardware store or
hobby shop.  .

>>Hi Bill:
>>I restored my current Ranger just using the gasket you described. That
kind will be found >>at Antique Electronic Supply in Tempe AZ. So far,
that is the best substitute (I forgot >>which one but they seem to be on
the expensive side however). It is the old gasket on the >>Ranger.
>>
>>I also restore cars and looked for this particular gasket at my local
upholsery shop: >>nada :^(.

parts).

Finally, you might also check with Dee Almquist at
http://home.rica.net/soundnmind/  He replaced the gasket on my Ranger
cabinet that he refinished.  He might tell you where he gets it, or
perhaps sell you a piece

Good luck with your restoration.
