Finally a hinge repair solution for tab style Technics dust covers that is aesthetically pleasing and fits seamlessly with the design styles of the period, with a subtle industrial commercial design style your repairs will disappear instead of being very obvious. Easy to fit.
This hinge kit fits all Technics turntables that have tabs molded on the dust cover - lid as shown in the images. These parts often fail as they become brittle with age and after 40 years the majority of this style of Turntable covers suffer from broken tabs meaning their lids will not stay open.
This my own design and is 3D printed in strong material. As a restorer seller of Many Technics turntables I wanted a repair solution that fits all Technics decks of this lid/cover type. There are many clearance factors to take into consideration and this kit takes all of these into consideration so the backing plate is shaped to allow the lid to close properly irrespective of the model of turntable.
The backing plate provides cover for the damaged area of the the cover after removing the broken splines that can normally be seen from the inner side of the cover with other types of repair. Additionally the backing plates fix to the hinge tab using discreet black screws creating an overall effect that looks like it was part of the original design rather than a clunky inelegant repair.
The Hinge tab plate is designed so that it is similar to products of the day and the effect seamlessly blends with the turntable appearing as if it was always designed that way and not an obvious repair.
It is easy to fit and a hard plastic template which clips over the old broken hinge allows for accurate drilling of holes without measuring and with little fuss.
