Really, the subject line says it all... I would like to obtain a snap-on cover for my SSL-0 (which, like so many of its kind, came without one)... Please make reasonable offers to me here or at jbister@neo.rr.com - thanks [Smile]

EDIT: Actually, if anybody has a vinyl (or similar) cover to just drop over the projector (like a bag) then that'll be great, too. I just want something to be able to store the projector away and protect it from dust.

The actual SSL-0 snap-on cover or just a vinyl/plastic one? If it's the former and it's in good condition, then we have a deal - just let me know shipping to zip code 44313 and I'll PayPal you. [Smile]

It's the actual hard cover that came with the machine.
Looks like $8 for UPS. Total $18.

That was a bargain! I know a dealer in the UK that could probably supply a soft Eiki dustcover, but a new one would be about $70 + postage! He might have a good condition used one, which would be half the price.

Seeing as you can almost buy a whole projector for $70 - I'd say that the UK dealer would be ripping you off if you paid him $70 for a cover

I've got oodles of Eiki parts kicking around ...

Actually, the dealer in question does give a fair deal and he (eg) supplies brand new Eiki scope brackets for less than you sometimes see them go for on eBay! It's true that a new dust cover is shockingly expensive, but I've seen another dealer asking a similar amount, so I'm sure it's simply the current Eiki list price.

I can believe that actually, if the cover truly is brand-new. But you wouldn't see me buying a brand-new cover for a projector that's probably 20 years old. [Razz]
