MC30/Tube Amp Acrylic Cover

[thewho]

Have a pair of MC30s and a toddler that I don't want to touch tubes. Was thinking about getting plexiglass covers (like a turntable dust cover) to cover them with an opening on the control side. Has anyone done this or have a lead on something that would work? My main concern is the heat of the tubes in the enclosed space, but maybe vent holes could negate that? Thanks in advance!

I would't use any plastic materials. The power transformer and tubes get quite warm or even hot. You may try a metal cage or put it up high and away from the toddler...my 2 cents.

Hello

I will definetly not recommend you to use "air flow proof cover" on your tubes amp !

Keep those things well away from that toddler. Even when they're off. Air flow is a must when they're operating.

Well ventilated caged enclosure, or elevated location.

Best option is to eliminate any chance of access by the child, wherever it may be - w/o cages/enclosures.
