Dustcover with broken hinges. Any way to reattach them?

[TrevorBarten]

I have a dustcover that actually looks pretty decent however the hinges have beek snapped clean of. Is there any way to reattach them on a solid way ? Sadly because if the design of the turntable the hinges have a pretty constant pressure on them which makes me think that there might not be much that I can do. But still it can't hurt to ask.

What turntable?

A revox b795 was repairing it and I wasn't careful with the dust cover ( I did repair the deck though)

Pics will help the thousands of AKers that repair physical things but don't have a Revox TT understand what the issue is. Glue, new plastic and such without seeing the pbm.

Do like vinyl nirvana does and fashion a thin chunk of metal to match the broken piece and part of the main cover and glue it all together. Check eBay for Thorens dust cover repair to see what I'm talking about. Of course, the TD dustcover does not have an outside restriction as this table might.

that seems like a good idea how ever what kind of glue should I use ?

Maybe make some out of some kind of z bracket ?

Maybe a quick setting 2 part epoxy. Lows or Home Depot should have some.

As mentioned above, Thorens covers can be repaired. Here's a thread on mine or one that used to be mine at least.

Well I decided to try and replicate the nirvana hinges and to my surprise it works pretty well I wanted to try and make some sort of prototype first to test it so they look really bad but as you can see on the pictures it's already working pretty well

That's a lot better than your first post "there might not be much I can do". A bit of use, fine tuning if needed and the right glue and you have another 25 years of good dust cover for your table. Glad you were able to fashion something that should work.
