Spotted this on eBay UK yesterday and wondered if anyone has any thoughts or experience with one?  I have one or two Beograms with sagging tops and was considering this idea.

It may be true to the original design, but it won't work very well as a dust cover Laughing

Yes, this has been discussed here before.

Most have sagging tops to a certain extent.

I've never seen one that sagged to the point where it affected playability.

I would be interested to hear if anybody has managed to straighten one out permanently

I would epoxy an aluminum L or U angle to the rear end of the cover, never done it but we have had this problem before in the "old" forum.
