I'd like to replace a missing SNT front cover. A cover from a 'parts' SNT/ENT/SSL/ESL would fit (not an NT or others). It doesn't matter if it's one with speakers or the slimmer type without. Cosmetic condition doesn't have to be good so long as it's unbroken. The projector is used by a non-profit Community Interest Company in London, so I'm afraid the price would have to be quite low to be considered affordable. That would almost certainly rule out shipping from the USA, but if anyone in the UK or Europe can assist, please let me know.

Thanks for the offer, David, but the projector I'm referring to runs fine, so I'm only seeking a front cover at present.

However, your projector could be a bargain route to an SNT for someone else. I recently bought a step down transformer to use with a USA Eiki, which showed me that this can be a straightforward option.

Adrian I'm not knowledgeable on the various Elf models but the only ones I ever had were green in colour and for some reason I have a green cover with build in loudspeaker in my loft which I'm in the process of clearing out.

David - thanks for your reply but I'm afraid the cover you mention wouldn't fit. It would be from a model from the 60s or 70s. The SNT I need a cover for was one of the 'last generation' sold from around 1986 to 2003, and has a cover that's a golden brown colour.
