Hello folks:
I KNOW I mentioned this here before, but I cannot locate the post via search, so I am starting anew.
I have a fairly nice condition Dual 1019 given to me by a friend of ours. It's equipped with a Shure cartridge mounted in the strangest, spring-suspended gadget I've ever seen lurking in a record player. I happened upon the manual for this record player last night, and there is no sign of nor mention of such a gadget on the headshell (cartridge mount)... so I am left with the conclusion that it's part of the Shure. I got ambitious enough today to snap a few photos, so I thought I'd share. I am wondering if this is some Stone Age version of the 'dynamic stabilizer' still found on the M97xe... and/or a device to guard the stylus/cantilever against snappage (to coin a word).
Thoughts? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
