Card theft prevention cover

[MotorBongo]

Just wondering about this cover. Reading page 18 of the manual while away from the freshly arrived SP-606, I got the impression it was some kind of internal blocking construction of a CF-card, secured by those bottom-screws. Returning near the SP-606 learned it simply wasn't so. But the front of the unit is sloped, so...

... well, long story short, is it just wrongly mentioned by the manual as an accessoire, or was it indeed originally included ?
Haven't seen pics of one, but it sounds like a useful thing to have.

Thanks

i think it was included on the original package

Thanks, so it actually exists ... can imagine previous owner(s) lost this. I can ask the seller, just in case...

I presume so, the 404 definitely has one

I copped it brand new and can tell you it didn't came with a cover like the other SPs do. I wondered about it too because no way a cover can be placed there. I thought maybe Roland got over it about protecting cards and figured if the DJ was dumb enough to leave it in there, then it deserves to be robbed

Thanks, this makes sense

So it replaces the mystery of 'how on earth they thought to attach it' by 'why a description about how to connect it made it into the manual and why the manual lists it as an accessoire'...

Mine came with that thing but i bought it second (third?) hand...

Mine came with that thing but i bought it second (third?) hand...

Aha, so the cover comes with age & reselling Mine 2nd...3rd hand as well, so perhaps one day when I walk into the room...


Just kidding...

After all this mystery I'd like to see it - can you post a pic perhaps ?

Thanks !
