Hinged Dust Cover for VPI Scout


Has anyone come across a hinged dust cover for the Scout? I've been considering purchasing a used VPI Scout for a while but I'm reluctant to deal with a big hunk of acrylic that I need to move somewhere every time I want to listen to a record. 

I know some folks just leave a crappy record on to protect the platter from dust but I worry my house has too much lint floating around. 

I've also head of people using a scarf or other piece of fabric but my TT is smack in the middle of the living room and I don't think my partner would go for something that didn't look pretty tidy. 

Any ideas?

As the Scout is a non-suspended sub-chassis table, bolting a big dustcover to the plinth is a not good idea, in theory at least. Lots of Audiogoners don’t even like a dc bolted onto the base of their suspended sub-chassis tables.
