Just how rare is my Akai DC-34 dust cover?

[matski]

I’ve picked up a CS-34D cassette deck, which came with a matching dust cover. I cannot find a single image, anywhere, of another deck with this cover. I found an advert listing it as an option, but that’s it. I’m thinking it might be worth more than the deck itself! It’s the cover lower right. Has anyone else seen one?

Thanks,

Mat

Plastic covers like that seldom survive for long. There are flexible PVC dust covers made for various sizes of equipment,
but they won't look as nice, although they also won't break.
