Well I have a philosophical view on life these days. In the four years I've bought off eBay it's the first time I've had anything damaged. And it was due to it being wrapped in bubblewrap and a softgrade box opened and wrapped around it rather than a strong, rigid box. The fact that it weighs so much didn't help.Originally Posted by Marco
Yesterday I informed the seller and his response was very helpful. He mentioned mine was one of two parcels sent by Hermes and both had arrived damaged. He said he wanted me to be happy with my purchase and offered a full refund if I wanted to return it or a partial refund if I want to keep it, which I do, before I mentioned it. Haven't been able to get back to him with ebay being unavailable today.
Worked on the cover with Duraglit yesterday and got an improvement over what it was like, but it still requires a lot more work. Will also have to come up with some way to disguise the split down one side of the cover and the crack on the other side. Thought of making a frame of speakercloth for it or some boarder design.
P.S.
Geoff, is the underside of the platter damped? Mine has some residue suggesting it was. And do you use the original mat? I can photocopy the manual or send it to you if you would like to scan it.

Can't say fairer than that. Much better experience than I have had on the odd occasion something has arrived broken.

No, my platter is not damped. I use a heavy imitation suede finished rubber mat, it works well. I've got the manual thanks Stephen.
I believe the Technics 1200/1210 lid is the correct size to fit, it may want a bit of tinkering to use hinges, which I wouldn't bother with anyway. There was a guy selling Techie fit, plain lift off custom lids for £25 on eBay, which were the perfect size, but I don't know if they are still available.

eBay is still buggered! Maybe they had another 'hack attack'.

Bit of a nuisance, as I urgently need to make a purchase.

Thanks Geoff. There's a bloke (iconic-audio) selling a quality Technics replacement for £37 which seems pretty good considering the typical price for a dust cover. I'll have another go and see how many more marks I can polish out and try to hide the split and crack at the sides and then decide on a replacement. Wonder how James got on with his cover.
