Dustcover for MC275 and VPI Scoutmaster?

I recommend a dustcover for your Scoutmaster. It will help protect your stylus directly by preventing unauthorized touching and fiddling, and indirectly by you not having to dust off the turntable from time to time. As for the amps, also a good idea as long as you take off the covers while they're turned on.

I am using a Gingko plinth top dustcover on my Scout and it works fine. Looks nice too.
