Others, like mine, when purchased new in 1990, had a little clear plastic molded cover that fit snugly around the baseplate. If I recall, it would have to be removed anytime you change film, because it covers the lock. That said, I would suggest to you to follow one of the many very fine suggestions that have been offered to you to protect your baseplate, THEN, stop being a sarcastic pain in the butt, and go take pictures. And while you're at it, why not post some pictures.
