Where can I find a dust cover and a hinge for my Technics SL-BD22 turntable?

January 12th, 2012

The left side hinge has broken on the table, as you face it, and on the same side the teeth on the back of the cover have also broke. Any suggestions as to where to get these items would be appreciated!
Panasonic are the company behind Technics, and you can contact them from here…
