No Dustcover for Turntable, What do You do?

From time to time type over dust cover on the search box here and you'll get the gentleman from NJ that Jvogt mentions. Luckily if he's surfing forums he might throw you e-mail but he's usually packed with orders. BAT charges $500 for dustcover he only charges $150 so go figure... He does his job for covering tube amps and turntables. I bought from him dustcover for $140 and it looks stunning and covers the whole turntable not only arm and platter. You don't have to tell him size and the only thing he needs is a product that needs to be covered.

Check your yellow pages for a plexiglass or plastics. They'll build you one. I did this for my VPI TNT5 and it cost $70. Make sure you include 2-inch cut outs on the bottom for cables, etc.

The member in NJ people are referring to is Vtvu, and the dust covers he offers are very nice looking. You can contact him through the A-goN system here.

Rosstaman is on to something, but if you have any woodworking skills you can make the same thing for less. Plex is very easy to work with and can be bonded with meythl ethyl keytone (MEK) which I've seen at Home Depot. A sharp saw blade is a must but I'm guessing you could make this for about $25.00 for plex and MEK.

I ran into the same quandary with my Michell Gyro SE. Final solution, which has worked out just fine, is "canned air". Just shake the can prior to use and give the platter and arm a light blast prior to placing your vinyl.
