Wow, this is pretty incredible. I had one of those break mid LP just three weeks ago! The racket of the pump housing vibrating against the mounting plate was something! After I determined the source of the racket, another one broke. I turned it upside down and placed it on a stack of soft fabric for the time being. If I find replacements, I will let you know. You may want to ask this question in the ET2 tonearm thread. Someone there might know where to get replacements.

If the OP's pump is like mine, the rubber pieces are o-rings. It's just a matter of finding the right size. I have a pretty good local o-rings source, so I will see what I can find. This is what the bottom of mine looks like. http://usr.audioasylum.com/images/y2014/10/121198/altec_015.JPG |
Mine was different. It had 4 holes to accept some sort of rubber feet. Thanks for pointing this out. Upon thinking about it, the 4 holes in the metal frame that are present in your picture....This is where I placed the rubber isolators I found as this part of the structure is lower and is what comes into contact with whatever the unit is placed on. My unit had the O-rings but they were clear and had not broken down. The O-rings allow for the unit to be isolated from the frame structure. |
