    Description

    Price is for two individual tabs.
    This product will fit many more tables than I have listed, if your not sure just ask me and I'll be more than happy to help. The quality and fit and finish of these tabs is excellent. I tumble them overnight so they have a gloss look and smooth feel. I've sold just under 1300 of these (and counting) and my customers are ecstatic about them
    .
    Review my feedback as a seller and you'll see why I like this product so much. I charge a little more but I feel it is absolutely worth it. If you have any questions I'm always here for you. I deal with strictly with Technics tables and know the models well.
    If you're like me there is nothing worse than having to lift off your dust-cover when you want to use your turntable. I became so disgusted I decided to do something about it. These professionally manufactured tabs are made out of machined aluminum and leather tumbled for a great smooth feel and appearance. They fit nice and snug into the pockets of virtually
    any Technics table that come with those nasty tabs
    (check the measurements) and work perfectly. Very professional appearance.
    #8 machine screws, nuts and washers included with each tab purchased.
    These work much better on the outside of the cover instead of the inside. I've always had problems with the cover not completely closing when you place the tabs on the inside.
    For the SL-D2 type tables you line up the base even with the dust-cover (see photo). For the Q200 type tables with the shorter cover you will want to line up the actual small tab  with the bottom of the cover. I use #8 machine screws (included) which work perfectly. If you want to drill a slightly larger hole in your dust-cover this will give you some wiggle room in case you're slightly off with your drilling.
    To grind off your broken tab you want to use a Dremel (or equivalent) and take your time. Make sure to wear safety goggles and remove as much as the old tab as possible so the back of the cover is nice and flush. Once that is accomplished you want to line up the new tab in the proper position on the cover. I use painters tape which doesn't leave residue and is plenty strong enough. Check to make sure the new tab is in the proper position by placing the cover with the tab (held by tape) in your tables hinge. This is easier if you're replacing just one tab but if you need both just take your time, you'll be able to see the area where the old tab was by the Dremel marks.
    Once your all lined up it's time to drill out the holes in your dust-cover. These Technic covers are strong and I have never cracked one during the drilling process. This is important, Leave the tabs ON the cover (still secured by the painters tape). You'll be able to feel where the holes are in the tabs and drill accordingly. I have used this method many times and it works great!
    I've sold hundreds of these and my customers seem to love them, I know I do. These and some buffing with Plast-X bring your dustcover back to life.
