Decksaver/cover for Analog Heat

Elektron Gear Analog Heat
#1

I love this machine. I can’t see myself ever letting go of this one. Well worth the price of admission for a saturation junkie such as myself.

I might be moving internationally in the not-too-distant future, and wondering if there is a decksaver/cover for the Heat that will help protect it a bit, specifically during air travel - checked baggage in a bag with a bunch of other stuff, so don’t want a bulky flight case.

I’m basically looking for something I can attach to the top, perhaps with tape, so that the knobs won’t be damaged by careless baggage handlers.

Does this exist? Any ideas or suggestions?

£49.00 is outrageous!

I am inclined to agree actually, when a Decksaver, say, TB-3 cover is £25 RRP and under £20 street price.

And they’re obviously made by Decksaver.

£49.00 is absolutely ridiculous.

Economies of scale, perhaps?
I wonder how many more TB-03s are sold than Elektrons.

Or the middle man effect.
You can by the TB-03 deck saver from deck saver, Roland is not a middle man in that transaction.

These are just two of a myriad of reasons that an object might have a higher price tag.

Captive audience mate

Ridiculous pricing. Make it cheaper than the full-sized lids, at least?

#12

Well, I’ll not be buying one for my Heat at that price.

Why is the PL-2s $50 ??? Seriously, wtF

Juno UK sells (Decksaver) Monologue lids for $30 – and there’s loads more dimensions and surface area to it. Elektron is ripping us OFF…it’s aggravating

edit: Decksaver lid for the MINILOGUE is $40.32 … somethin’ fishy here

The PL-2 is made by Decksavers but is only available through Elektron. I have 2 of them. Expensive, but worth it for me.

The 50$ price from Elektron includes shipping.

Juno’s price for the monologue deck saver using snail mail is $40.56, FedEx Priority is $60.65 to California, so if they stocked the elektron lids it would likely end up being the same price or more depending on shipping. I ordered an item from Juno Friday with the Priority option and it will arrive on tuesday.

Elektron’s shipping with UPS is pretty fast. I ordered a pl2 and a couple power supplies on sunday and they will arrive to me by wednesday.

I paid $5 shipping for my Monologue Decksaver lid. I didn’t need it in 2 days or whatever. It was approx. $33 total (including shipping), and I received it ten days later. This was several months ago, when it was priced at about $28 USD. It just doesn’t seem proportionately correct when the MKII lids are $55 and the Digi- / AH lids are $50. Just, IMO, or… yeah

edit: I understand. It’s like, “tough titty”, deal with it.

man… they are $78USD in australia :sob:

Do it yourself with plexiglas. Mould, hair dryer.
Or by an Elektron T-shirt as dust cover. :smile:
