Used dustcover hinges work just as well as new ones, right? So save your money and buy these used hinges for the Technics SL1200MK2 or back up your browser and buy them new for $5 more each. Remember--you need two for each turntable! -----The SL1200M3D, SL1200MK5, SL1200M5G, etc do not use the hinges, and do not have a hinge recepticle on the back of the turntable. These versions of the SL1200 have a rubber foot in place of the hinge. You can put a rubber foot in place of a hinge on an SL1200mk2, but putting a hinge on one of the other versions of an SL1200 won't do you any good without the hinge recepticle! (Incidently, those hinge recepticles are no picnic to install)
