I was on the fence about this one for a while and have seen it on ebay for awhile. $70 for a dust cover is pricey to me, but I am a believer in dust covers as every vintage computer I own that is in mint condition (not yellowed, clean and new looking) came from the owner WITH a dust cover. I believe the dust covers make the difference, and I also need them as dust seems to collect on everything in my house anyway So, I made the plunge and I am really glad I did. This is a really well designed 100% leather cover and looks great. I love the green The pic looks a little washed out due to my crappy camera (it is a deeper green in person) but here is a pic of it currently in use:

looks good. You just need one for the naked commodore! I don't think $70 is too much, especially for leather!

I wonder if there is a viable market for a company to start producing retro computer dust covers again? They could also do classic consoles too. I know my BBC Master 128 would LOVE one.

I used to have those brown ones they made in the 80's. Really tough stuff. Wish I still had them but we made other "things" out of them.

Leather? Seems over the top for a dust cover. They're almost always vinyl or polyester or something cheaper. But for for $70, it'd better be real leather.
