Default Stumbled on a great Dustcover Craftsman

As some here may know that when my TD125/ Magnapan Unitrac 1 arm table was shipped to me this spring, the table made it fine and the unit was packed very well. However the table was shipped with the dustcover attached, and as with all spring loaded dust covers, It did not survive the trip with the back cracking around the hinges. :^(

I stumbled upon a company in Cincinnati, Ohio who will fabricate a new one out of 3/16" acrylic for $119.00 shipped to my door. The present wait time is 3-4 weeks. The cover on the table was made out of 1/8" acrylic, and I went ahead and shipped the cracked one to him at my expense so the measurements should be perfect. It arrived today, and I thought I would provide pictures of the finished product.
Regards,
Jim

It is definitely heavier than the one that was broken, and is as strong and solid as any dustcover I have encountered. The holes for the hinges were spot on and attachment was problem free. To say I am pleased is an understatement.
