    to keep dust out

    If i put tape over the speaker holes/vent holes to keep the dust out would that be ok or would it hurt the machine? Or does it matter that dust gets in there? Thanks

    It matters in the long run. Put tape or a decal over the speaker holes.

    Whites actually sells a decal to go over the speaker holes. It won't hurt it one bit.

    At times I've just used that clingy plastic wrap the wife has in the kitchen.

    Duct Tape!

    Had duct tape over the speaker to keep moisture & dirt out for years. Just replace it when it gets crunchy.
    I know it's here, just need a bigger coil!

    Re: to keep dust out

    I never use the speaker, just headphones. I put a cool sticker of some sort over my speaker . It makes it easyer to tell my MD apart from my buddys when there all together.

    extractor,

    Your detector would "SCARE" the metal out of the ground.

    Nice decal there.
