This looks interesting

It is not very B&O at all IMO, not sure that I even like this design, makes the deck look like it came out of Japan :(

I am convinced B&O intended the 400x series to be used without the dustcover, I cannot see why else they would have made the lid lugs counterbore! Also they look even more gorgeous without lid too!

I would like for Leslie to make an alternative liftable lid for that range of decks, I think it would make a nice alternative to the original hinged version!

Has Leslie cleaned one of his closets out?

Will give it a try but I'm still in doubt if I'm gonna use the metal/alum. plate on top!

Hmm yes I see what you mean. Make two versions :-P

Old cover.....

New Cover.....I am made up...;-)

What I didn't realise is you can set the angle the same as the old sloped cover also. I am really pleased with the look. Th edges are polished and all in all

I think it is a huge improvement. Better still I rang the guy directly and he gave me Β£10 off. 

I looked at making one myself but with all the parts it was not possible as a one off.

Very Pleased indeed...

and the other angle

And larger..... (pictures)
