Best Technics Turntable Acrylic Dust Cover and Hinge Restoration - Record Player Rescue!

This acrylic dust cover has been in storage for years. It was separated from the turntable and abused heavily in a cramped little electronics shop. I rescued it many years ago but finally took the time to repair it. I'll show you how to do it too! You can do it yourself at home. All you'll need is a few supplies and a few hours. You can do it!

Thanks for watching!
