When I got it, it had the normal metal cover, but the foam glued to the
inside to press on the boards, had gone the way of all computer foam, so
I had to replace it.
The polycarbonate cover was cut from a larger piece on the occasion of
an exhibition at the University. I had the machine running a simple
demo, and the cover was off so students could see the boards and I could
point out the major parts. It's rather fiddly to keep putting the cover
on and taking it off, however the laboratory superintendent was a bit
concerned about students poking their fingers in (or dropping debris) so
he found this large sheet of pre-folded polycarb, which he donated. A
little extra work after the exhibition made it a better fit, and added
ventilation, so I kept it that way.

I don't
know of any other machine that used the same cover, but I find
mine a bit awkward , so instead I have a cover made out of a folded
piece of transparent polycarbonate. Looks good at exhibitions :-)
Wow. That that would be really neat! I wonder if yours served the same
purpose when it was new!
