Dust cover?

gutted · February 2013

Do you leave your spectrum set up all the time? And if so, do you have any sort of cover to protect it?

I've got a +3 and normally keep it packed up in the poly inserts that it came with. It's a bit of a faff you unpack it then set it up each time I want to use it - it'd be cool to be able to leave it out all the time, but then it'd gradually get covered in dust.

I spent a while trying to find a cover for it, but didn't have any luck. What do you use to protect your Spectrum when it's not in use?

Dust :)

I just stick it in a plastic bag.

an MSi motherboard manual, a raspberry pi in a box, a sheet of reporters notepad with a list of lego part numbers, and a business card for a tractor spares supplier.

Technically it's not specifically there to protect the +3 exactly...

I bought a sq yard of fake leather material for $8

Marked it out with a ruler, pen
Cut and sewed up the corners.
Did one for my toastrack and Amiga 1200..below

I usually cover it inside a transparent plastic bag, but I dont know where I read it that the ecstatic electricity could be harmful for the Spectrum.

The speccy is made of plastic and came packaged in expanded polystyrene. I don't think you need to worry too much about static electricity :p

My wife's quite handy with needlework and stuff - I've been pestering her for a while about making a cover... She says she'll make a cover if I buy the material.

@beanz - that's the sort of thing I had in mind. Nice.

@guesser - that's quite an eclectic dust cover! :D
