Bespoke Turntable covers.?

[PeteT59]

I'm sure someone out there has the answer I'm after...

I'm looking to get a bespoke perspex cover made for my turntable.

It has rounded corners, so I want to have that reflected in the cover rather than corners that pertrude...

Anyone know anywhere that might be able to make one for me..?

Thanks,

Pete

I have forgotten the name but a guy on eBay makes Acrylic lids to your dimensions ,, he made one for my lad's Linn for under £60 (about £80 cheaper than buying one from Linn) .. he gets very busy so the add does not run all the time so it may take a while to find him.

Thanks@uzzy,
I'll give them a call, but I fear they all just do the square corners.

I'm looking for somewhere that'll do 40mm radius vertical corners if it's a lid, or 60mm if it's a cover.

It's to fit this...

Find a lovely "isolation" base, or plinth to you and me (butchers block or thick wood or even 1inch or thicker acrylic) and attach the cover to that wooden base (so that it covers the whole turntable) .. the visual aesthetic will be seen through the clear acrylic (Michelle did it on the Syncro and the Gyro which of course could not take a conventional cover on their own)

Try PR displays 07595 703022 in Leicester. They did one for my SME30 for £75, and it's perfect.

You could try these, they did a fantastic job with my bespoke SP10 cover, albeit, the curved corner requirement might by an issue..

Nothing ventured

I was very happy with the Frazer Company cover they made for my Well Tempered Amadeus, you would need to contact them regarding curved work though ?

Generally the Decent covers are well made but heavier so hinges struggle. To save money (a lot!) and just have one that fits over the whole deck. A round edge one would cost a considerable sum. Mine cost £78

I am pretty sure they are the ones that advertise on eBay from time to time that I used for a Lid for my lad's Linn - great job too at not a lot of money

Not clear from Jon’s photo but I had one this size that had finger cutouts on each side left and right so that it was easy to pick up. Otherwise you would have to grab the flat sides with the palms of your hands and it will pick up a lot of marks.

Yes, important to specify handle cutouts at either side, a cutout at rear for the cables, as well as internal clearance dimensions and obviously height. I think the OP will struggle to get curved corners, and I would have thought that would greatly increase the cost, if it's feasible to do.

My cover is rectangular, but so is my TT.

Thanks - I forgot to include the rear cut out and this is most important.  Best for the owner to specify the cut depending on turntable.

Yeah, I had sussed the need for cable and hand cut-outs, but probably all too easy for me to forget..!

and make a space to put it when you lift it off and make sure you are sure footed and stable lifting it off, if you drop it then expect some serious damage ..space is always a struggle for me hence the hinged route is my choice
