Cartridge Recommendation for Dual 1229


Cartridge recommendations for a Dual 1229?  

Ag insider logo xs@2xheadshrinker2
I run a Shure M97xe, a V15 ii with a JICO stylus, M91ed, Grado Prestige Green or a AT vs210e on my Dual 1229, 1219 or 1228.
Norman: How much of a pain was it to put the Grace tonearm on your Dual? I have a post asking the same kind question.
Do you have a pic?

Thanks,
Michael
Michael,

It isn't hard. I removed the automatic functions since I never used the auto start anyway and the used springs to tension the original start switch. 

Adding a nine inch arm is easy. It's an afternoons work at best. I use mine every day for well over a decade now. 

The 1219/1229 can be made into an incredibly good turntable. 
Email me and I will send you shots of mine and help anyway I can. 

I recommend you lube the motor while you have the table apart. I would also clean and grease the platter bearing and race.

Norman,
You are life-saver!
I look forward to getting the 1219 modded now.
I'll email you shortly

Thanks again!

Michael
