Hi Crambry:
I had both decks on our TC 5300 (uses the same decks as the TC 6000) fail a little more than a week ago. Searched high and low through Google and only came up with one on ePay for $179, plus $43 shipping, criminal since they are particle board and sold for ~$25.
I ended up having a set cut out of an alternative material polycarbonate which is bullet-proof glass. The place I ordered from is www.freckleface.com (weird name but came through lightning fast) with the product. My order info is included below and I kept the old decks to use as templates to drill the holes. Got the machine back together last Sunday and have used it all week and works perfectly. The new decks probably are not bomb-proof but they are at least bullet-proof which says a lot more than the original deck material. I do not have any track record with the referenced material or company but am very satisified with the outcome.
Best of luck.
