 What we have here is the holy grail of dual turntables, it's the dual 1229 and You can see the model number right there still got to do a little bit of a cleanup of the the shell and the case here But what I've done is I've actually mechanically gotten everything functioning correctly The cam which is the inside guts of these turntables is Usually what what goes on them and it's not because they fail it's because they have Dried grease on them. So what I did was I completely disassembled the cam and all of the working components and Stripped it out of all the the old dried sticky grease and re-greased the The cam and the arm mechanism put a new brand new sturer pimple Which is the mechanism which causes the arm to swing over in automatic mode and I put a nice really nice cartridge on it Yeah Yeah Everything is now functioning correctly. So let's just give her a start This is an automatic mode Obviously, you can also use the arm lifter and do everything manually But just to show all the mechanisms and everything are correctly working And there you have it, there is a delay from one channel to the next There's a little bit of a switch tweak inside that it's a bugger to get Just perfectly. So I've been playing with that Otherwise sounds fabulous Sorry for the scratchy record

 So that's one mechanism that I haven't tested out Nor will I because I don't believe in wrecking my records And there you go Off she comes so there you have it a working dual 1229 the holy grail of dual turntables Very desirable collector's piece They are old units. They're from the the early 70s 72 73. I believe in that sort of area but Yes many people Love these decks. So there you have it Thank you for watching

It's an old dire straights one that I had kicking around here in the garage Just thought I would pop that on to test it There you have it Now the dual turntables they had different cabinet arrangements

 It's an old dire straights One that I've been using for a while now Sorry for the scratchy record. It's an old dire straights one that I had kicking around here in the garage Just thought I would pop that on to test it There you have it Now the dual turntables they had different cabinet arrangements. This is the Noresco cabinet on it You can get newer cabinets, this one is, you know, it's seen some use so I'm not gonna lie But otherwise functionally the the turntable works phenomenally, so Somebody that wanted to do a little more restoration could probably do that But as far as the mechanical portions of it it it's working portions of it it it's working just great Just to show got the cue lever here then we can move it over Plunk it down Really scratchy turn record actually Playing it on an old tube amplifier that I built Playing it on an old tube amplifier that I built Then when you want to stop it There you hear the cutouts and off she comes Settles into its armrest and everything shuts off same idea. We can pop it over turn it on We've got all the weights everything balanced in one and a half grams tracking weight for this particular cartridge To have any questions I Have not tried it with the the stacker It's something that I don't use just because I don't I find it abhorrent to Stack multiple LPs on top of each other

 This is my first hi-fi setup. I'm absolutely blown away by what I was missing before.

My humble setup

Finally snagged my dream table.

Currently hunting for a decent quality turntable, and came across listings for three Dual turntables near me, and am curious if any are worth buying. 

[Dual 506](https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/250640613770159/?ref=search&amp;referral_code=marketplace_search&amp;referral_story_type=post&amp;tracking=browse_serp%3A8d18b121-e599-461c-96a5-2f5e40bf6a85), for $80. Says it’s working. 

[Dual 1215S](https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/502447320988297?ref=search&amp;referral_code=marketplace_search&amp;referral_story_type=post&amp;tracking=browse_serp%3A5d64a791-4ccf-4251-97f0-9405ee9b6874), for $100. 

[Dual 1257](https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/599349811410784?ref=search&amp;referral_code=marketplace_search&amp;referral_story_type=post&amp;tracking=browse_serp%3A311970f5-f2e4-4705-aab5-9cd1d1e11d1e), mint condition, fully serviced/restored, for $225.

I’m leaning towards the 1215S, since it’s a 3-speed. (I have a few 78’s I’d love to play!) I can handle relubing and mechanical maintenance, if need be. 

Any opinions?

‘Dual’ Brand Turntables?

I can only talk about the Dual, as I have that model and the 1229. Try and find a repairer in your country that fixes turntables, or better still, is familiar with Duals. Parts are still available for them. The thing with Duals of that vintage is they're all mechanical

(Tldr at end)

So I want to get myself my first turn table (got a really cool limited vinyl so now I have to haha).

Now I was looking for a budget one, around €300 and saw the rega p1 which seems like a good one to get (already have a preamp).

But today at my parents they said, we have 2 old ones you can take. They have an Philips electronics 312 and a dual 1219.

Now they say those were quite good ones at the time, but quite used.

I dont know what I should do now. I can use some money to get new a new element and needle for one of the older ones or just buy a new one.

Anyone got some advice or tips? Like any way to check if the old ones are still good? And the changing of elements, I dont know if its easy to do with the two or if there is a specific element that I need to find etc.


Tldr; Buy a rega 1 or revive a dual1219 or revive a Philips 312 (around €300 budget)

Edit: Thanks for alle the answers! New to this sub but you all were helpful!
I decided to grab the dual and give it some good maintenance and learn something about the dual turntable whilst keeping some money for expanding my collection :)

Got this beauty for $60, all I need is a dust cover

Best around 200 - 300usd  or 3000sek in sweden

Yet another one overwhelmed with the available options and looking for a turntable + phono pre amp near 200-300usd, for home listening only. Auto stop is a plus and it should preserve vinyl life.

I've been looking and following different guides and suggestion posts but most cant be applied to sweden what I've seen. 

I have been having my eyes set on the fluance rt series but I dont find any shop that sends to sweden without the ridiculous 100$ shipping


Any suggestion?

need help finding a turntable in europe

Looking for some advice picking between 2 very different models as the last puzzle piece to match with an inherited vintage AR-90 setup. I’m somewhat new to TTs and vinyl being only 23, but I really want to make the right decision to balance price, quality, and longevity.

I’m talking to a guy willing to sell me a completely self-serviced Dual 1229 in perfect working condition for $550 with a DM 103 ME cartridge with a N91 stylus. He’s even willing to come drive up and install it and test it out with me. It’s slightly out of my price range (wanted to stay around 300-400 unless I found a great deal) but I can do it if I know it’s worth it. 

My question is, will I regret not buying this and going with the RT82 for $300? The 1229 being a mechanical system and potentially able to work my whole life with proper service and the rare vintage aspect of it to pair with rare old vintage speakers are the main selling points drawing me to it. Would the sound quality be much better than an RT82? Because at the end of the day, I just want a cool, great sounding table that I won’t have to replace for a long time and being able to save $250 would be really nice for me right now. I have seen other 1229s go for a lot less in the past on eBay, which makes me question whether $550 is reasonable assuming it’s in perfect condition.

Appreciate any input!
