Re: Rescuing and repairing turntable mats.
I have just been experimenting making turntable mats.
I finally settled on rubber pond liner with a felt underlay. (the rubber pond liner I used is conductive to electricity so could maybe also help minimise the build up of static if it is earthed to the centre spindle. The resistance across the turntable mat is just less than 1M ohm.)
Cut the mat out roughly and oversize. Make the hole in the centre then place it on the platter and turn the player on. Use a good felt pen to mark a circle at the final size, as you steady your hand on the deck.
