Up for grabs is a 3" dustcover for the HW-19 VPI turntable. I believe the 3" size is discontinued on the VPI site. Since a new 4" is 170 dollars shipped, I'll go
7080 dollars shipped.
The 3" will fit a variety of standard tonearms including the AudioQuest series. I bought this from a fellow AC'er a while back. I will conservatively rate it a 7/10 with tiny light scratches at most. It has no cracks or discolorations.
Please specify if you want the hinges and wooden base hinge receptacles.
Many believe that a dustcover degrades sound quality as it induces microphonic vibrations that transmit. I used mine in a "removable" mode. I would center it on the edge of the base and take it off when playing records. You can even leave the hinges in place and pull the cover out of the slotted plates on base when you play records.
Over time having no dustcover at all renders the tonearm and plinth grungy and dirty. Do NOT let this happen to your beautiful TT!!!!
It will be wrapped in an impossibly giant box and will be totally padded and protected. In the event that it arrives broken OR you are unhappy with it, I will refund your money! I need the space!!!! Paul
