    I too have the SL-Q300 in good condition. Putting a “stereo” back together. I’m in need of a dust cover hinge – one is broken (was “stuck” and cracked when opened.) All else is good. If you have a resource of a hinge _ I would be pleased to hear from you.

    • Not an easy item to come across. Occasionally, you can catch a parted out unit on eBay but the hinges are always a weak point. I doubt they are the same as a 1200 but I’ll cross reference it just in case since those are everywhere.
