Record Doctor Cover for Record Doctor X

A Cover for the Record Doctor X — Protecting the Machine at the Top of the Range

A fitted cover for the Record Doctor X record cleaning machine, sold singly. It goes over the machine between sessions and keeps dust off the platter, the controls and — most usefully — out of the vacuum slot.

The X is the most capable machine in the range, which makes it the one most worth protecting. It is also, for most people, the most expensive thing on the shelf it sits on.

Fit and Function

What You Are Actually Protecting

Three things: the surface the record lies on, the opening into the vacuum path, and the controls. Of those, the vacuum opening is the one where accumulated dust does more than look untidy — it goes somewhere when the motor next runs.

Which Machine It Fits

It is cut for the Record Doctor X. The V and the VI are different machines with different dimensions, and their covers do not interchange with this one — so the model designation on your machine is the thing to check before ordering.

A machine used in batches spends most of its life idle. The proportion of time a record cleaner spends uncovered and unused is exactly why a cover is worth its modest price.

Who Is This Cover Best For?

• You own a Record Doctor X — this cover is cut for that machine
• Your machine is on display — out on a shelf rather than stored between uses
• You clean records in batches — the long idle gaps are when dust accumulates
• You want to protect your investment — the X is the most capable machine in the range
• Your machine is a V or a VI — those need their own covers, listed in record cleaning accessories

How Do You Use It?

Give the machine time to dry after a session before covering it — a cover over a damp machine holds the moisture in. Then fit it over the top and leave it until the next time you have records to clean.

Pairs Well With

What most owners keep alongside.

• Record cleaning solutions — the fluid the machine is there to remove
• Record cleaning accessories — the rest of the spares and consumables
• Record brushes — for the dust that never needs a machine
• Stylus cleaning — a clean record deserves a clean stylus

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my machine?

It is cut for the Record Doctor X. The V and VI are different sizes and take their own covers.

How many do I need?

One per machine, sold singly. It is not something that wears out.

Should I cover the machine right after cleaning?

Give it time to dry first. Sealing a damp machine under a cover traps moisture against it, which is a worse outcome than a little dust.
