Dual Turntables

and talk with him. He repairs most things Dual and seems to be an expert on those tables. He usually stocks restored ones that are in good shape and can help you find one if you are inclined to still want a Dual.

Good luck,

My picks:

1229
1219 (same as 1229 but with out strobe)
1019 (I use this as a dedicated 78 spinner , and its very good)
3 underrated idlers IMO

CS 5000 is OK (belt drive)

701 is a good DD for the money.

Probably all limited by the Dual arms... but still a good place for a "new to vinyl guy" on a budget to start... or someone who is just getting back and wants to test the waters.

Just bought a 1019 for a couple of euros on ebay. It's described as 'not working.'
Where would be a good place to find information about this turntable, and where (most importantly) should I look for parts?

Thanks - first post.

i have a recently purchased refurbed 721 with an ortofon blue 2M cartridge and upgraded (Dayton Audio) RCA's. I love this table, solid and very very quiet, and the sound is fab.

Dual 1229, or a 1219.... My 1229 has a Grace 747 tone arm, it is the best table I have ever had. Blew the pants off of my $$$$$ Linn LP12. If you need assistance rebuilding one, I can help. I have done six now for friends.
