Redacted_Dev Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 If you search for Atari Game Centers or Tele-Game Centers on ebay you'll often find the dust lids are either scrapped up, damaged, or missing completely. Does anyone make reproduction dust lids? It's a tinted piece of plastic in a simple shape so I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to replicate, plus there'd certainly be a market for them. -Redacted_Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Starwander Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I don't know of anyone that does. It would have to be a fairly large market as they cost to make an injection mold for a part of this size would be horrendously expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodHare Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It's might be possible to vacuum form them. If so, the production cost could be kept fairly low. I'm not 100% sure they could be done that way, but I felt it worth mentioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Don't see such a project being feasible for this market. Hell, a good dust cover for my VPI turntable will set you back $300. I opted for a half-assed modern bent acrylic solution that "only" cost $75. Might have been $100 actually, I forget now. sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzLee Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 or it would be fairly easy to bend an acrylic sheet to fit. In multiple directions with the seams in tact. Unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
