Looking for a dust cover for my Nottingham Analogue turntable, any recommendations?

Hi Robin, I bought mine from the eVilBay seller 'ashpope123' to fit on my tweaked Thorens TD145. If you don't necessarily want/need the fully enclosed dust cover, visit his store on the bay that seems rather "empty" at the moment. But he use to have those other acrylic cut and bend leaf (made in the UK) that you just drop and rest on the platter and that has "wing" to cover the tonearm... Without that rest on the plinth like that for the TD160... as shown on his shop. If ever PM him. I really love that discreet, clean and "modern" design for the worst part of any turntable: the dust cover. Their service is TOP as well. Or see for those 'Michell Eng.' ones... Cheers, Tim

Looking for one that will cover the complete turntable basically a a clear box

[Boyse6748]

Something like this (although This sits on top of the Plinth)

Mind you, Any design (Height / width / depth is available).

Hi Robin,

Can definately recommmend https://plasticonline.co.uk/turntable-hi-fi/turntable-covers.html

My retripped moving coil required less tracking force meaning that with the counterweight slightly further back it was just touching my Techies dust cover.

As a result I came across Plastic Online who do a bespoke turntable dustcover service.

They do standard measurements, where you can then add / advise your hand and rear cable access cut out measurements - it's very easy :)

I then found some techie replacement dust cover rubbers on Ebay which although not a tight fit (I havnt glued them) do the job well.

Thanks Robert, looks promising

[RobbieGong]

No probs Robin,

Meant to say that there's also a 'custom quote' option at the bottom of the link page where you can basically tell them everything you want, measurements etc and they get back.

I have one identical to Robert's for my Monarch, and five and a half years on, still looks mint. Money well spent! :)

I have a Dais and simply went to a local acrylics firm with my design, chose the flavour and got it made in 5mm; about £75 as I remember. It is huge (10" high and fits on my table top which is considerably larger than the Dais (so I can keep all my day-to-day tools etc under it).

Most large towns and cities have an acrylics company.
