Lid/Dustcover Kit to fit Technics
SL-1200MK2 Turntables/Record Players
See the pictures for how well
it suits the 1210MK2!
This is a clear acrylic lid plus
hinge kit for Turntables. It was originally made to fit another well known
Japanese Branded turntable but since many/most turntable plinths had similar
dimensions, this has been found to be ideal for replacing lost/broken covers or
as part of a record player build/restoration. The brand (Audio Technica) 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.
This will fit the superb Technics
SL1210Mk2 when used with the hinges and hinge mounts which are supplied.
As shown in the pictures, the original Technics hinge mounts are removed and
replaced by the ones supplied using the original screws and using the upper two
fixing holes in the mounts. This makes for a very good good looking and good value dust cover at
around one third the cost of the Technics one.
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)
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
If you are planning to use this
kit on a different make or model, please measure your plinth and check that
these dimensions will be satisfactory and then contact us for confirmation.
The lid 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.
