Pro-Ject VC S and VC S MkII Dust Cover

A Dust Cover for the Pro-Ject VC-S Cleaning Machine

An acrylic dust cover for the Pro-Ject VC-S and VC-S MkII record cleaning machines, sold singly. It is made to fit the VC-S, and it goes on between cleaning sessions.

There is a loop worth breaking here. A cleaning machine left uncovered collects dust on its platter and around its vacuum slot, and the next record you clean picks that up on the way through — which rather undoes the exercise.

Fit and Materials

Which Machines

The Pro-Ject VC-S and VC-S MkII. Cleaning machines differ in footprint and height across a range, so a cover cut for one generation will not necessarily suit another even from the same maker.

When to Put It On

After the machine has dried, not straight after a session. A cover over a damp machine traps moisture against it, which is a worse outcome than an hour of dust — so let it stand before you cover it.

Who Is This Cover Best For?

• You own a VC-S or VC-S MkII — the two machines this cover is made for
• You clean records in batches — the machine is idle far more than it runs, and that is when dust lands
• Your machine lives in the open — most do, being too large to put away
• You want the machine to keep looking new — a cleaning machine is an expensive thing to let go dusty
• Your machine is a VC-E or VC-S3 — those are different sizes; see dustcovers for what fits

How Do You Fit It?

Wait until the machine is dry, then lower the cover over it. Lift it straight off rather than sliding it, and give the inside a wipe occasionally — a cover collects on both faces, not just the outside.

Pairs Well With

What most owners keep alongside.

• Record cleaning solutions — for records that were stored uncovered
• Record cleaning accessories — the rest of the machine spares
• Record cleaning machines — if you are still choosing one
• Record brushes — a pass before each side, whatever the cover does

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my machine?

It is made for the Pro-Ject VC-S and VC-S MkII. Later machines in the range differ in size and need their own covers.

How many do I need?

One, sold singly.

Can I cover the machine right after cleaning?

Let it dry first. Sealing a damp machine under a cover traps the moisture against it.
