Thanks "Cleviebaby"!

Have been watching your Ebay ad for the 2nd time and I must admit that the cover looks pretty neat! The only thing that doesn't look right is the bolt to keep the lid leveled. There must be another way 🤔 Think I'm gonna give it a try myself, got enough record players to play with....

But surely dust will get in around the sides! The LP always seems to have a degree of static so act as a magnet for dust. I have had a special cover made for my 3000 Thorens as the normal one will not fit (12" arm) and this has a simple cut out on the side so the arm protrudes. It cuts out most of the dust but some still gets through. The simple sheet design looks lovely but I don't think it is very practical !

My thoughts too.
Neat design and a good idea but I doubt it will have much effect.

The cover and record player looks great Peter. I think I'm gonna give it a try making a new acrylic cover for the Beogram 6500 etc. (with sides)!

Many thanks, didn't see the other thread. Spoke to the seller. He is an industrials designer and it appears it's a bit more complicated than a picec of acrylic sheet. Many audiophiles have a similar type cover for their high end decks apparently

I am going to buy one and try. Very knowledgeable guy that has been in analog audio for ever Apparently

Thanks again for your help.

Great! Let us know and please post a picture! Can't wait.....

Wow Peter that one again...

I WANT ONE 

In the foolishness of my teens I declined a TD124 and have always regretted it bitterly. 

Shame there wasn't a Garrard Beogram!
