Please read this description thoroughly before buying and contact us first if you have any questions.
This is a clear acrylic lid plus hinge kit for turntables. It was originally made to fit a well known Japanese Branded turntable but since many/most turntable plinths have similar dimensions, this has been found to be ideal for replacing lost/broken/damaged covers or as part of a record player rebuild/restoration. The brand is printed onto the small centre label (see picture) and if you can't live with this, it can be removed or covered with a bit of care.
The lid is a properly moulded item (not of the cheaper 'blown' or fabricated from sheet variety)
Dimensions are:
443mm x 347mm x 69mm (measured externally)
Please measure your plinth and check that these dimensions will be satisfactory
The general thickness of the acrylic is just over 3mm. The lower edge (ie the edge which is in contact with the record player) is 4mm all round.
The lid kit comes complete with a pair of hinges and a pair of hinge mounting bases. The hinges are compatible with the lid - fitting into a formed 'pocket' on the rear face, and the hinge bases can be screwed to the rear of the turntable plinth. This allows the lid to be opened with the hinges supporting the lids weight; or removed completely simply by lifting off.
Suitability for Technics SL-120
As an example from very many, this dust-cover kit has been found ideal as a replacement for the lid on the Technics SL-120 turntable. In this application, the hinges and hinge mounts (included in the kit) have to be used. The hinge mounts have to be fitted in place of the existing ones using 4 screws each (included). See pictures supplied by a very satisfied customer (with grateful thanks for his permission to use them). As you can see, this dust-cover kit is not a simple 'drop on' for every application but requires a small amount of work to fit it and the results of this work will be a very smart dust-cover which can be opened/closed on its hinges.
Other Applications
We are happy to help you determine if this dust-cover kit will be suitable for your turntable. Please contact us providing the width and depth of the plinth to the nearest mm. The required height over the arm will also be required. Please do not simply ask "will this fit my <name> turntable?" as we do not have the dimensions of every turntable to hand.
