Perfectly fits my SL-Q2 turntable. The hinges work - however they are "worn" in that the part of the plastic (or bakelite - or whatever the material is) that normally stops the hinges from opening too far is in such condition (worn/scraped/damaged) that the hinge has no natural stopping point when raised and the hinge will open too far. That said, it still works but not as "normal". I am still OK with the purchase as these hinges are really hard to find. I got my turntable from a friend years ago and the hinges were missing, so I am happy to have them. I am still trying to figure out HOW to create a reliable stopping point on them, so if anyone has an idea... I am open to suggestions!
4 stars because it arrived undamaged in a timely manner and was packed very well and sensitive parts secured properly and was fully functional with a healthy drive system. Only took away one star because it was left out the needle and cart was worn out and no amount of adjustments could solve the skating problem that was happening along with the intermittent distortion. The cart was replaced with an AT-95c/h and the problem was resolved.
Overall I am happy with what I received for the price point.
