Recommended Posts

No, they're not all the same :(
Some f***er melted the lid for my Rega Planar 3 by burning incense on it...
Incensed was exactly what I was.
FFS! Who burns sticks on a turntable?
Worse still, I didn't notice it for a week, and couldn't find out who did it.

Do Pink Triangle even still exist? Try them.
You might be able to get a generic (fabric) dust cover, but it won't protect your tonearm much..

Found out a bit more about my turntable. It's an LPT (little pink thing). There is a cover called mitchell unicover. But it only covers the arm and platter.
That costs £55 approx. I may wait till I see one on ebay. Thank goodness for the web, which wasn't around when I purchased this ;)

I suppose the Michell UniCover does a job but It doesn't hinge up and only covers the platter and arm. And its £55!!
You could just flip the felt mat over when you need to play a record, or give it a little hoover off every now and again?
Have you got a carbon fibre brush? They are an essential for giving the vinyl a quick de-dust before playing and very cheap. I've also got a little 'stylus cleaning' carbon fibre brush which does the trick.
Got to have a few gadgets :)

finding an original cover is likely to be close to impossible, i'd be looking to have one made, there are various companies who could make a perspex box to fit over the whole turntable. a quick search throws up these companies who seem to be able to produce custom one-offs, might be more expensive than the Michell cover but would provide much better protection
