Turntable Dust Covers

Did not know where to post this….

Any vintage tt gurus here?

What I have is a, actually have two, Sony PS-x75 vinyl spinner and one of the dust cover’s busted up.

Does anyone know what other PS-x tt model dust covers that are the same as the x-75?

There are many aftermarket ones still available but, I’m a stickler for originality.

    ^^^ This is my Sony PS-X70. I just measured it's dust cover.

    It measures 18 3/8" across, 13 7/8" front to rear, and 3" high.

    How bad is the original dustcover? Can you feel the scratches with a fingernail? Are you willing to put in some elbow grease?

    Thanks aprazer,

    Would you happen to have a photo of the rear of your x70.

    Trying to figure out if the x75 cover is a one of a kind?

    The x75 was damaged. And, I think the dust cover hinges are non replaceable as they’re molded as part of the base?

    Not the greatest photo. I forgot how heavy these are!

    You could contact eBay seller 'JnB Audio' for a possible custom build. The result would definitely not be 'original', but I have had positive results with them.

    The weight/thickness of the material can come into play. If it's too heavy, the hinges won't hold the dustcover up, so sometimes a fine line there.
