ü Our technician has completely and EXTENSIVELY gone through and 'Certified' this unit which involves disassembly (not an easy task on this table), cleaning inside and out, COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLING, cleaning and re-lubricating internal mechanisms and the balance of efforts listed below. Total technician time to restore 6+ hrs.

ü  Entire table disassembled (see above 'bench photos')

ü
Disassembly of 'Arm Lift / Cue Mechanism', cleaned and re-lubed

ü Speed control / belt adjusted for 'center point'

ü
Speed checked and verified for accuracy with both internal strobe and the shop calibrated strobe disc.

ü  Platter tested for 'true flat' and no 'run-out' (we had one with 'run-out', that required a new platter).

ü
We also installed and a new, Ortofon OM-14, elliptically cut Diamond stylus on the Ortofon OM-10 magnetic cartridge and optimized the tone arm for it. (If you prefer an up-grade you may also choose from our selection of new Audio Technica cartridges that we can also set up and ship with it for the additional cartridge cost.)
You can readily connect this table to any receiver, Integrated amplifier with a standard magnetic phono input, or a Pre-amp. To connect to computer for burning CD's just order one of our inexpensive Phono Pre-Amps and cable kits.

ü  Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit, cleaning inside and out, lubricating mechanism, adjusting tone arm lead out and testing performance.
 
ü Entire automatic mechanism COMPLETELY disassembled, de-greased, cleaned and re-lubed, (never an easy task on 'auto' turntables) including; the 'Actuating Slide and Pawl', and both plates.

ü 'Speed Change' mechanism disassembled, de-greased, cleaned and re-lubed

ü All internal rubber parts reconditioned including, of course, the idler wheel.

ü Drive motor completely disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed.

ü Steuerpimpel glider pad in fine shape, and fully operational
 
ü Platter bearing disassembled, cleaned of old lube and re-lubed.
 
ü Gimbal bearing, counter weight and anti-skating all adjusted and verified for accuracy.
 
ü Tone arm Lead-In and Lead-Out.
 
ü Tone arm bearing perfectly smooth in operation.

ü Idler position centered for more positive speed positioning w/ selector.

ü Original Dual Changer / Stacker Spindle inspected, re-lubed with 'dry lube' and EXTENSIVELY tested on multiple tables (see below)

ü Original platter mat warp & bubble free.

ü Proprietary Dual 'cartridge sled' inspected, and had both mating contact sets burnished (primarily to address 60Hz hum)

ü Excel, ES-70S 'magnetic' cartridge. Tracking and Bias force also re-set to 2g.

ü Tested / analyzed and passed for motor noise and 60Hz hum.

ü Speed checked and verified for accuracy with technician's factory test strobe disc.
 

ü He also did an 'orbital buff' to the dustcover and it looks GREAT! Has crack at rear corner that HAS been 'plastic welded' solidly back (looks bad, but solid now).

ü Table cosmetics detailed.

ü Real, Teak Wood veneer base structurally solid. Veneer just had a fresh coat of Lemon Oil.

ü Unit tested with our myriad of test records, one of which included; Shures' 'Cartridge Obstacle Course' record

Restoration entailed approx 6+ hrs w/ followed with about MANY hours of testing w/ many albums (mostly because we enjoyed having a 'quality' changer on one of the test stations to listen to).

As this turntable has a 'magnetic cartridge' (unlike most 'stacker / changers' which have 'crystal / ceramic / piezo' pickups) you can readily connect this table to any receiver or Integrated amplifier input. For a basic system, or wanting to get introduced or re-introduced to stacking vinyl records, this is a great table.

You can readily connect this table to any receiver (including 'modern / A/V / Home Theater receivers) or Integrated amplifier with a standard magnetic phono input, or an external Phono Pre-amp. To connect to computer for burning CD's just order one of our inexpensive Phono Pre-Amps and cable kits.

 Plays 16, 33, 45 & 78 RPM records. Selects 7", 10" or 12" record size. As stated above, this table has had EXTENSIVE refurb / restore work. Cosmetically, the table looks great.
 Again, our turntable tech has completely and EXTENSIVELY gone through this table (total tech time 6 hours).  
Following, and ONLY DUE TO the above restoration / refurbishment, the table starts as it should, and end's as it should with no 'end groove hang up'!  (While Dual purports stacks of 5 LPs as 'typical', normally you should typically only get about 3-4 on a stack with no issues, and you won't always get '6' to work, but... this table, #8160 was test played thru 30+ cycles and tested thru multiple stacks, with 6X LP's stacked with no issues!!! Occasionally you'll have a record 'hang up' or 'double drop', but that's almost always due to errantly drilled, elliptical or center holes that are 'too tight' in one of the records.
 Overall the table works beautifully and all functions now work GREAT! We also re-installed the 'Excell', ES-70S cartridge and optimized the table for it.  (If you prefer an up-grade you may also choose from our selection of new Audio Technica cartridges that we can also set up and ship with it for the additional cartridge cost.) You can readily connect this table to any receiver, Integrated amplifier with a standard magnetic phono input, or a Pre-amp. To connect to computer for burning CD's just order one of our inexpensive Phono Pre-Amps and cable kits. Again, this table looks near new and works great!!
 
First DUAL 1214, fully automatic changer phonograph. This is the first "Dual 1214" that we've had in over 20 years that we've restored (due to finally having a technician that's up to the task). Very nice Dual 1214 Stacker / Changer / Single play, Fully-Automatic turntable. Very difficult to 'break' one of these.
These are very well built turntables featuring an adjustable speed belt drive platter, but here's the VERY IMPORTANT POINT about the 1214.  It is one of the few Dual models, offering 'adjustable platter speed' that does NOT utilize a 'toothed belt'. It uses a 'tapered' motor drive pulley. The original 'Toothed' belts, utilized by Dual on MANY of their turntables are now 'UNOBTAINIUM' now, and any of the original / NOS ones still floating around are likely 'dry rotted' and useless. We've tried 'O-rings' (both single and double) with limited success. NOT to worry on this model as it doesn't use that system at all (and that is VERY important).

Again, as previously stated, the table has just been completely gone through by our senior turntable technician and is "Ready to Go"! Following refurbishment / and final inspection / sign off, the table has gone thru a minimum of 30 play cycles, including a minimum of 6 plays of 6x record stacks. Again, the only cosmetic issue is the repaired crack in the dust cover (see photos above). You will not be disappointed in this table for all around use. Includes 'e-copy' / pdf download of the Dual 1214 Owners / Users manual, and the Service manual if the purchaser desires. Comes with "Stacker / Changer" tall spindle and 'Short / Single Play' spindle. Measures 18" wide x 16" deep x 9" tall and weighs a heavy 16 lbs unpacked. Includes our standard 30 day limited warranty.

To connect to computer for burning CD's just order one of our inexpensive Phono Pre-Amps and cable kits. Again, this table looks near new and works great!!
 

Famous, sought after, and one of their more 'durably designed' DUAL 1219, fully automatic changer phonograph. This is one of only two "Dual 1219s" that we've had in over 20 years that we've restored (due to finally having a technician that's up to the task). Very nice Dual 1219 Stacker / Changer / Single play, Fully-Automatic turntable. One of the most sought after Dual's due to it's 'simple and durable' design. Very difficult to 'break' one of thes.
These are very well built turntables featuring an adjustable speed belt drive platter
, but here's the VERY IMPORTANT POINT about the 1219.  It is one of the few Dual models, offering 'adjustable platter speed' that does NOT utilize a 'toothed belt'. It uses a 'tapered' motor drive pulley. The original 'Toothed' belts, utilized by Dual on MANY of their turntables are now 'UNOBTAINIUM' now, and any of the original / NOS ones still floating around are likely 'dry rotted' and useless. We've tried 'O-rings' (both single and double) with limited success. NOT to worry on this model as it doesn't use that system at all (and that is VERY important).


Again, as previously stated, the table has just been completely gone through by our senior turntable technician and is "Ready to Go"! Following refurbishment / and final inspection / sign off, the table has gone thru a minimum of 25 play cycles, including a minimum of 6 plays of 6x record stacks. You will not be disappointed in this table for all around use. Comes with "Stacker / Changer" tall spindle and 'short / single play' spindle and a pair of 'up-graded' RCA interlinks
. Measures 18" wide x 16" deep x 9" tall and weighs a heavy 16 lbs unpacked. Includes our standard 30 day limited warranty.

Circa 1977-79'ish

SOLD 9/28/2020
SHIPPED TO THOMAS IN CALIFORNIA


ü  Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit, cleaning inside and out, lubricating mechanism, adjusting tone arm lead out and testing performance.
 
ü Entire automatic mechanism COMPLETELY disassembled, de-greased, cleaned and re-lubed, (never an easy task on 'auto' turntables) including; the 'Actuating Slide and Pawl', and both plates.

ü Drive motor completely disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed.

ü Toothed 'Pitch Belt' overlaid with additional belt material for years of trouble free service

ü Toothed 'Pitch Belt' re-positioned correctly for equal + or - adjustment from 'center' position.

ü Steuerpimpel replaced (this is a 'MUST DO')

ü Steuerpimpel replaced AGAIN following initial refurb / service, as the first replacement was 'noisy' thus requiring a different style from the first

ü Steuerpimpel glider pad 'burnished' and now in fine shape, and fully operational with good 'grip'
 
ü Platter bearing disassembled, cleaned of old lube and re-lubed.
 
ü Gimbal bearing, counter weight and anti-skating all adjusted and verified for accuracy.
 
ü Tone arm Lead-In and Lead-Out adjusted via modification
 
ü Tone arm bearing perfectly smooth in operation.

ü Fresh, new #238832 main platter flat belt installed

ü 'Manual Stop' function repaired / restored traced to mechanism early in the 'stop chain' of events. Required replacement of linkage parts for a donor 1237 we had

ü Original Dual Changer / Stacker Spindle inspected, re-lubed with 'dry lube' and EXTENSIVELY tested on multiple tables (see below)

ü Adjusted tone-arm 'lift height' to clear 6 LP's when stacked

ü He also replaced the anemic, factory RCA cables, with some much higher grade, 100% fully shielded, 'Acoustic Research' brand interlink cables, w/ 24kt gold RCA connectors.

ü Table cosmetics detailed.
 
ü Original platter mat warp & bubble free.

ü Speed checked and verified for accuracy with technician's factory test strobe disc.

ü He also did 3-stage, 8-sided buff to the dustcover and it looks decent with still a few deeper scratches / striations and multiple edge 'tics'. No cracks, splits or large chips (just the small tics along the edges)

ü Unit tested with our myriad of test records, one of which included; Shures' 'Cartridge Obstacle Course' record

Restoration entailed approx 20+ hrs w/ followed with about MANY hours of testing w/ many albums (mostly because we enjoyed having a 'quality' changer on one of the test stations to listen to).

As this turntable has an ADC, QLM-32 mkIII, 'magnetic cartridge' (unlike most 'stacker / changers' which have 'crystal / ceramic / piezo' pickups) you can readily connect this table to any receiver or Integrated amplifier input. For a basic system, or wanting to get introduced or re-introduced to stacking vinyl records, this is a great table.


Again, our turntable tech has completely and EXTENSIVELY gone through this table (total tech time ~20+ hours).  
Following, and ONLY DUE TO the above restoration / refurbishment, the table starts as it should, and end's as it should with no 'end groove hang up'!  (While Dual purports stacks of 5 LPs as 'typical', normally you should typically only get about 3-4 on a stack with no issues, and you won't always get '6' to work, but... this table, #
4011 was test played thru 12+ cycles and tested thru multiple stacks, with 6X LP's stacked with no issues!!! Occasionally you'll have a record 'hang up' or 'double drop', but that's almost always due to errantly drilled, elliptical or center holes that are 'too tight' in one of the records.
Classic, well built, Dual 1237, Belt drive, Fully-Automatic, Changer / Stacker stereo turntable! Cast Aluminum platter
to reduce resonance for quieter performance. Suspended "sub-chassis" Plinth with platter and tone-arm coupled separately for damping outside vibrations. Ultra-Low mass, straight tone arm. This is one of only three "Dual 1237s" that we've had in over 20 years that we've restored (due to finally again having a technician that's up to the task).


Again, as previously stated, the table has just been completely gone through by our senior turntable technician and is "Ready to Go"! Following refurbishment / and final inspection / sign off, the table has gone thru a minimum of 12+ play cycles, including a minimum of 6 plays of 6x record stacks. You will not be disappointed in this table for all around use. Comes with "Stacker / Changer" tall spindle and 'short / single play' spindle and a pair of 'up-graded' RCA interlinks. Also comes with pdf / e-copy of 1237a (similar model) owners / users manual. Measures 16.5" wide x 14.5" deep x 7.25" tall and weighs a heavy 13 lbs unpacked. Includes our standard 90 day limited warranty.

Original observations;
"No platter movement under it's own power. 'Automatic' arm functions very stiff when platter was manually manipulated due to varnished / stiff lubes. Belt stretched. Style broken off, and cartridge has hum, even with ground wire connected. Closed crack near dust cover hinge area. Pitch belt broken....All typical of 40-50 year old Duals"

ü  Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit, cleaning inside and out, lubricating mechanism, adjusting tone arm lead out and testing performance.
 
ü Entire automatic mechanism COMPLETELY disassembled, de-greased, cleaned and re-lubed, (never an easy task on 'auto' turntables) including; the 'Actuating Slide and Pawl', and both plates.

ü 'Speed Change' mechanism disassembled, de-greased, cleaned and re-lubed

ü All internal rubber parts reconditioned including, of course, the idler wheel.

ü #SM_860-1 Drive motor completely disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed.

ü Steuerpimpel replaced (this is a 'MUST DO')

ü Steuerpimpel glider pad in fine shape, and fully operational
 
ü Platter bearing disassembled, cleaned of old lube and re-lubed.
 
ü Gimbal bearing, counter weight and anti-skating all adjusted and verified for accuracy.
 
ü Tone arm Lead-In and Lead-Out.
 
ü Tone arm bearing perfectly smooth in operation.

ü Pitch mechanism belt replaced w/ #42-085

ü Original Dual Changer / Stacker Spindle inspected, re-lubed with 'dry lube' and EXTENSIVELY tested on multiple tables (see below)

ü He also replaced the anemic, factory RCA cables, with some much higher grade, fully / 100% shielded braids, interlink cables, w/ 24kt gold RCA connectors. The original RCA resin paper connection board was removed and the cable wires were soldered directly to tone-arm wires. 

ü AC / Mains lead replaced and ground wire installed and strain relieved properly

ü Re-mounted chassis in case w/ lock working properly

ü Table cosmetics detailed.

ü Crack near hinge area of dust cover plastic welded and is now solid enough to keep cover up.

ü Dust cover buffed for improved appearance, but is not 'perfect'. Still has a few 'battle scars', but with the welded rear cracks is perfectly servicable (actually looks very nice for 45 years old).
 
ü Original platter mat warp & bubble free.

ü Proprietary Dual 'cartridge sled' replaced, and had both mating contact sets burnished  (primarily to address 60Hz hum)

ü New Audio-Technica AT-95e, cartridge with Elliptically cut, Diamond Stylus, installed. Tracking and Bias force also re-set to 2.0g.

ü Tested / analyzed and passed for motor noise and 60Hz hum (once cartridge 'sled' was replaced and had contacts burnished!).

ü Speed checked and verified for accuracy with technician's factory test strobe disc.

ü Unit tested with our myriad of test records, one of which included; Shures' 'Cartridge Obstacle Course' record

Restoration entailed approx 11+ hrs w/ followed with about MANY hours of testing w/ many albums (mostly because we enjoyed having a 'quality' changer on one of the test stations to listen to).

As this turntable has a 'magnetic cartridge' (unlike most 'stacker / changers' which have 'crystal / ceramic / piezo' pickups) you can readily connect this table to any receiver or Integrated amplifier input. For a basic system, or wanting to get introduced or re-introduced to stacking vinyl records, this is a great table.

You can readily connect this table to any receiver (including 'modern / A/V / Home Theater receivers) or Integrated amplifier with a standard magnetic phono input, or an external Phono Pre-amp. To connect to computer for burning CD's just order one of our inexpensive
Phono Pre-Amps and cable kits.

 Plays 33 & 45 RPM records. Auto-Selects 7" or 12" record size based on speed selected (can be manually over ridden if you have 45 RPM LP's or LP 7" records. As stated above, this table has had EXTENSIVE refurb / restore work
(total tech time ~11+ hours). Cosmetically, the table looks great.

Following, and ONLY DUE TO the above restoration / refurbishment, the table starts as it should, and end's as it should with no 'end groove hang up'!  (While Dual purports stacks of 5 LPs as 'typical', normally you should typically only get about 3-4 on a stack with no issues, and you won't always get '6' to work, but... this table, #0527 was test played thru

Service and Ready-To-Go DUAL 1242, fully automatic changer phonograph. While we've had a number of Dual tables over the past 24 years that we've restored (due to finally having a technician that's up to the task) this is the first 1242.

ü  Speed checked and verified for accuracy with technician's factory test strobe disc against built-in strobe.
 
ü  Original rubber mat, still supple and flexible with no hardening.
 
ü  Original dust cover just had a fresh, 3-stage buff and looks decent, but has a few battle scars, including a couple of previously welded cracks at the rear (see photos above)
 
ü  Original dustcover hinges adjusted and now hold it upright as well
 
ü  Grado ZT+, Eliptically cut diamond stylus, Magnetic Cartridge re-installed

7 hours of tech time, it's a very well running, 'direct-drive' turntable...
