Is correct the seal is no longer available, having owned
most of the maplenoll tables the Apollo is the best. The one problem even if you create your own new seal is the noise of the vacuum leaking around the spindle. I have
since machined a different spindle to run in an oil bath
bushing and no longer use the seal and the vacuum hold down
option (my seal is also not usable). If a record is really warped, use a hold down ring and center weight same affect no noise. Excellent on the fly VTA adjustment with the Apollo and this table is heavy over 200 pounds as you know.
