Rega Turntable Dust Cover Hinge Fix
If you own a Rega turntable that has a dustcover like the one pictured below, there is a good chance that at least one and likely both of your hinges are damaged. That’s because the hinge is crap.
But before you shell out nearly $100 for a new cover or $20 for new hinges (which will probably just break again) I have an incredibly cheap fix. Zip ties.
Get yourself some skinny, short zip ties — you’ll need 4 of them — then thread the zip ties through the openings in the cover and the hinges. Zip them tight and clip off the excess.
As you can see in my photos, I probably should have put the bulky-looking zipper head on the outside of the cover instead of the inside.
You should now have a fully functional dustcover that will likely never break again. Enjoy!
