Best regards

Hi! I saw a thread where it was mentioned you were restoring a PE2040, which happens to be a turntable I’m restoring as well. Do you know how to get the cue lever working on these? as is it doesn’t do much of anything. Ive fixed the lack of friction on the automatic tone arm, and also replaced most of the old grease but the cue lever still is non-functional. Any help is greatly appreciated
Hey there. You've been very helpful to me in the past. I found a 1229 at a yard sale, took it home, spun it up. Not bad. Decided to take apart, clean and reassemble the speed selector and now the idler wheel doesn't make contact with the motor or the rim. Can you tell me what I did wrong?
I live in Orlando, FL and have this 1225 that needs some love. Will give you a call sometime this week to see when it's convenient to you for me to drop it off.
Hi Seth, I came across you as a recommended Dual guy in a Dual thread. I just purchased a 1228 from an estate, I live in Brooklyn, and I'm interested in having it restored. I may have to hold off a bit due to finances but have I come to the right place?
Hi Seth, I have a Dual 1218 with a Grado Prestige Gold1 cart. I hear what I think is the motor turning the platter through my speakers—the low frequency driver shakes like crazy. Is this issue in need of service, or a good lube? If the latter, is there a guide of any kind that would show a novice like myself where to oil? Many thanks, Eric
Hello, was wondering if I get a 1219 or 1229 can I use my Ortofon bronze cartridge on them? Also have a 1009 sk. Do you work on those? It seems to run a little slow. But everything works on it. Thanks for all your posts on duals, I've had the 1009 for 35 yrs. Thank you for your help. Ed
Hello,
I should have waited awhile before I sent my CS 1246 out for servicing. I live in Queens, and I recently picked up this Dual with the sticking tone arm problem as described in a recent thread (I am not the OP). Oh well, I do have several old Garrards that could use service, so do you work on Garrards too? Thanks and sorry for the intrusion.
Hello. I have an Elac Miracord 50H. I know that you don’t work on these but i was wondering if you know of someone who works on/ specializes in restoring these turntables? Thought I would take a flyer to see if you have ever come across someone who knows their way around these.
Hey Seth Mike Gibson sent me your way. I just recently picked up a Dual 1015 with no spindles. Mike advised me that you are the man when it comes to Duals. So I was wondering if you had any spindles for the 1015. I need the changer and the manual spindles. Thanx for your time.
Marshall.
