One of the most common issues with turntables is those lovely but delicate clear perspex lids.
Owners put hot coffee cups on them, food and are often pretty rough when opening the lids, causing the rear hinge area of the lid to crack.
I do not usually offer the turntable lids (in any condition) because although they are not very heavy, they are bulky when being shipped and this can make the cost of shipping quite high.
However, I have had so many people asking for lids - so here is my first offering...
DENON Perspex Lid
Model: DP-30L
Possibly it may suit other turntables, see the dimensions below
NO hinges are supplied - just the lid. I do have the hinges advertised as a separate item
CONDITION:
When mounted on the turntable, the lid doesn't look too bad and it serves its purpose - to keep dust and dirt away from the vinyl
HOWEVER I would describe the lid as being in FAIR CONDITION
Fair condition means this ....
Front, side panels and rear are pretty good - hardly any scratches.

The top does have a number of visible scratches, some are quite deep - the photograph is deceptive, I could not get the camera to show up the scratches properly, it truly looks worse than in the photographs - not terrible but still very noticeable to the naked eye.
Although I have never tried it, apparently it is possible to "polish or buff out" scratches in this plastic material - but do so at your own risk (you may end up causing the plastic to look "cloudy")
CRACK - Oh yes, there is a crack.
Viewed from the front, it is on the left hand side. There is only one crack, around the hinge area. The lid is still sturdy and structurally sound but just to add to its strength, I have run some super-glue along the crack. The lid has a very solid feel and should withstand normal lid use if used with reasonable care.
LID DIMENSIONS:
As measured from the bottom of the lid, where it sits resting on the plinth
442mm Outer to Outer SIDE - SIDE
352mm Outer to Outer FRONT - BACK
68mm Outer to Outer HEIGHT all round
3mm thickness all round
Special recessed area for the hinges (45mm wide), two screws mount each hinge.
Hinge area begins 43mm from either side (as measured from the outer edge of the side)
Packed/stored and will be shipped within a sealed plastic bag
