Decibel Tests w/ Felt Installation.
Here are some decibel tests I ran on my machine. Instead of only taking one picture per test I took 2 since the levels did vary some.
Self adhesive felt tape from Aces/Griggs Hardware, $5.
The 3 different tests are before felt, after 1 layer installed and finally after the 2nd layer installed.
These tests were of normal 3 reel play, no bonuses.
I wish the results would've been bigger but alas they are what they are. For $5 I think it's great. The machine didn't need to be taken apart, I just sprayed air on sides to clean off dust and then a flat spatula to evenly place felt. It took no more than 30 minutes and had a great time tinkering.
I attempted to hold recorder at same distance/height each time, in hindsight I should've set up something to have it perfectly placed for equal tests.....sigh lol.
Idk how to flip those last two pictures, oh well.
