It looks something like the foam they sell for putting under camper tops on pickups. Auto parts & hardware stores usually have it. But the brands I've seen are grayish in color, and might not be wide enough.

McMaster-Carr has this material as stock item(s)

I've used the following from McMaster-Carr both in my Dumont and RCA sets:

1/4" X 2" X 36" 10A Neoprene rubber #3207K13 $15.22 each

1/8" X 2" X 36" 10A Neoprene rubber #3207K12 $10.16 each

The 10A is the measure of softness and it pretty much matches what you'd expect a manufacturer to use when mounting a CRT.

With the 36" length, you'll probably end up with enough for another set! Good luck.

Try your local hardware store, ask for a replacement garage door seal. The one that I bought was "L" shaped (maybe a 1/2" lip), ~2+" wide, ~1/4" thick, ~16 feet long. Decent neoprene rubber that had a smooth finish, cheap. Frickin' lifetime supply...

Some good suggestions, I like the Mc Carr Masters Foam and it sounds right except I need it to be 3" wide (measured it today) I don't see that particular soft foam in that width. I could double up on it since the band is also 3" wide.

I went to Ace Hardware and couldn't find anything that would work, maybe I should try Home Depot or similar.
