Obsidian plinth dust cover adjustment

Sorry cd318 my assumption was that everybody knows that
Obsidian plinth belong by SP 10 , mk2 or mk 3. 

My own solution is adhesive tape on both sides of the ''legs'' on
the cover. I keep the cover in up position during play and closed
otherwise. All the dust on the cover means no dust on the records
or the platter. I need to clean the cover each week.

There are screws on both hinge sides (the opposite of the cover
''legs'') but I was not able to strengthen the (possible) springs
 with those screws. The dust cover functioned long time as it
should but ''weakened'' later on. The only solution then was to
remove te cover during the play and (re) install back thereafter. 
As I already wrote my solution was to use adhesive tape on the
cover ''legs''. This way the ''thickness'' of the ''legs''  increased
somewhat and this solved the problem. Anyway so far.
My assumption was that ''many'' (?) of our members own 
Obsidian plinth but this assumption was obviously wrong.
There is no sense in asking advice if one can solve the problem
by himself (grin).

Dear chakster, I lost any hope when our encyclopedic member 
from Russian Federation was silent. One should not believe in
miracles or omniscient persons. Thanks for your specific advice
but I don't need one more  couple of those Obsidian hinge(grin).
Dear best-groove, When I purchased Technics SL 1000,mk2 
there was no user manual included. Despite of this I improved
the Obsidian plinth by removing its mediocre feet and provided 
with Technics pneumatic ''towers''. I was then very proud of myself. That was also the reason why I waited so long to ask for help...
Thanks for your ''input''. 

Dear best-groove, chakster like the most of us need to sell some
of his possessions in order to be able to buy some other .
Well his previous advice to me was to buy his ''bigger towers'' 
and get rid of my ( lesser kind?) . This way you can get my AT 616
while I can get chakster's  ''big guns''. So everybody wins(?). 

Dear best-groove , This question can be better answered by
our ''omniscient chakster''. Besides he own the biggest of
those ''towers''.

Dear best-groove, I see you are happy with the ordinary AT feet.
But than why are you complaining that those AT 616 are ''nowhere
to be found''? 

I solved my problem as described and have no interest in
further discussion about the issue. Certainly not in an dispute .

best-groove, If one want to improve whatever component with
an new part one is assumed not to own already this part. The
reason is simple; this part can't then be ''new''. I had also no idea
about those AT ''towers'' and I certainly would not buy them if
I owned them already. To put this otherwise there is no logic
in your (both) post. I only quoted your previous post. 

Dear best-groove, I will try again. Properties of objects don't
depend from our will or, which the same, our psychology.
All relations between involved analog parts are physical. 
So they can be explained by physical science. The fact (?)
that you are happy with feet which you already own says
nothing about their properties. Those AT ''touwers'' are sold
as separates. My reason to buy them was the fact that reviews
about Obsidian plinth were not very positive. My guess was 
that this was because of those ''mediocre feet''. I wanted to
improve my Obsidian plinth and invested in those ''towers''.
Those ''towers'' are objective in the sense of their damping
properties. Those don't depend from my psychology. But one
can hear the difference. We use expressions like ''better than...''
to describe what we hear. If others also agree with this
''better than ...'' we have consensus. Our forum is about such
experiences which we share with others. That is a.o. how we
get ideas about possible improvement of our ''systems''.
