The hinges I bought are not as elaborate as the one you are using. You did a great job, I didn't think of using the multi-toolbut that makes the job much easier (I was going to cut with a coping saw instead). Also, using the masking tape is a good precaution for not damaging the surface of the dust cover. Thanks for the help, you did a fine job.

[@ArtOfVinylTurntableRepairs]

[@chylogurti]

Hi can the spring brackets be replaced as well? Both hinges on cover have broken and one on the actual deck. Thanks in advance

[@MauroGuerreiro]

Dou you have the hinges for SL-Q3 ? Thanks.

[@browneyedgirlie]

I have a similar issue but with a JVC dust cover. JVC AL-A155TNX. They are not “broken” but the dust cover no longer stays up. Need to replace the hinges. Let me know if you can resolve this?

[@paddyokelly1751]

Very useful video but what I click on the link to buy the hinge my AV software strongly recommends not visiting the site. Why is this and is their an alternative way of buying if I need?

[@usnmjim]

Does anyone know where to find a replacement for the actual spring hinge, rather than the tab?

[@ArtOfVinylTurntableRepairs]

Hi James, you can contact me through email on my website (www.ArtOfVinyl.nl). I could see what I can do for you. Kind regards,

[@eduardoaylwinherman428]

Can you tell me the distance between the bolts? I already installed an aluminum hinge, but the dust cover doesn't sit right. I want to know if the holes I have already made are compatible with the hinge you offer. Thank you

[@ArtOfVinylTurntableRepairs]

Dear Eduardo, if you give me the dimensions of your holes I can modify the hinge to fit yours. I wouldn't recommend using metal hinge tabs, since they don't flex, therefore putting extra stress on the dustcover.

[@kiwicory100]

I sent you a message regarding my Technics turntable for hinge repair...hopefully you can help me or you have improved the 3D printing of this hinge?

[@trevorstockton2157]

What if the actual hinge has broken?

[@ArtOfVinylTurntableRepairs]

I do not (yet) have copied that piece. They are difficult to come by second hand.

[@1mrdems]

I need this exact hinge. Could you send me a couple? Provided I pay you.

[@ArtOfVinylTurntableRepairs]
