Re: Dustcover down? Dustcover up? Dustcover off?

On my VPI HW-19jr, I removed the dustcover, the hinge holders and screws, the cork resting pads, the motor cover, and the motor cover supports and screws.

Only after all this did I listen so I couldn't say exactly what the contribution of just a removed dustcover might be. However, after all this modding, I got a very worthwhile improvement in transparency so I'd say give it a try.

As far as dust goes; with an antistatic gun and record brush I don't seem to have any additional buildup when playing or even when not since I throw a soft cloth over the VPI when not in use. Hummm, actually now that I think about it, my covering cloth is holding a fairly large static charge, perhaps all the dust is being attracted to it instead of the table/record.
