New photos added due to a Chinese seller stealing my photos and description. Watch out for imitators! I've sold well over 1400 of these tabs, and my product is worth the extra $. I deal with strictly technics turntables and these tabs will fit more than the models of tables I have listed, so if you have a question about what will fit please ask. I have personally used these tabs on hundreds of dustcovers and can attest that they work awesome. You're purchasing my experience as well as a quality product!. Locally manufactured in Greenville SC!
The quality and fit and finish of these is great. I tumble them overnight so they have a gloss look and smooth feel. Remember these are aluminum (not iron) and will never rust! I've sold over 1400 of these (and counting) and my customers are ecstatic about them. Review my feedback as a seller and you'll see why I like this product so much. I charge a little more but I feel it is absolutely worth it. By the way, I make the tab width just a hair smaller than stock so you have a little wiggle room for install. It does not hurt the performance in any way.
Now for the original description from back in the day.
If you're like me there is nothing worse than having to lift off your dust-cover when you want to use your turntable. I became so disgusted I decided to do something about it. These professionally manufactured tabs are made out of machined aluminum and leather tumbled for a  smooth feel and appearance. They fit nice and snug into the pockets of virtually any Technics table that come with those nasty tabs (check the measurements) and work perfectly. Very professional appearance.
#8 machine screws, nuts and washers included with each tab purchased.
These work much better on the outside of the cover instead of the inside. I've always had problems with the cover not completely closing when you place the tabs on the inside.
For the SL-D2 type tables you line up the base even with the bottom of the dust-cover. For the Q200 type tables with the shorter cover you will want to line up the actual insert with the bottom of the cover. I use #8 machine screws (included) which work perfectly. If you want to drill a slightly larger hole in your dust-cover this will give you some wiggle room in case you're slightly off with your drilling.
To grind off your broken tab you want to use a Dremel (or equivalent) and be patient. Make sure to wear safety goggles and remove as much as the old tab as possible so the back of the cover is nice and flush. Once that is accomplished you want to line up the new tab in the proper position on the cover. I use painters tape which doesn't leave residue and is plenty strong enough. Check to make sure the new tab is in the proper position by placing the cover with the tab (held by tape) in your tables hinge. This is easier if you're replacing just one tab but if you need both just take your time, you'll be able to see the area where the old tab was by the Dremel marks.
Once your all lined up it's time to drill out the holes in your dust-cover. The OEM Technic covers are strong and I have never cracked one during the drilling process. This is important, leave the tabs ON the cover (still secured by the painters tape) when you drill. You'll be able to feel where the holes are in the tabs. I have used this hundreds of times and it works great!
These tabs and some buffing with Plast-X will bring your dustcover back to life.
