Dual 1219/1229 pdf

I think it would be a good idea to have a Dual Idler Survival Guide in place, a place where you can point a new person or the otherwise uninitiated for self help (sorry, they are on their own for any other issues).
So, as part of this concept I've decided that the aforementioned pdf that was developed by Dave1229 (Dave K) be placed where its accessible to any and all, not having to depend on it to be offered then emailed.http://akdatabase.com/AKview/displayimage.php?album=103&pos=0
Another part would be links to places like http://www.vinylengine.com/ with explanation that one must register with them gratis in order to access the library.
And theres the tweaking aspect http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=345417
Im thinking also it may or may not be a good thing to include key vendors and techs. If such a thing came about, maybe it would be best to leave it up to them to decide whether to be included in such a thing as it could be a double edged sword.
AK member NoTransistors would be considered a key technician. Located in Brooklyn NY he has many years behind him in the field and is an excellent Dual mechanic. From repairs to a complete rebuild he is all over it, and maybe more importantly, honest and trustworthy.

Anyway, what do you think? This is all just in my head, but it seems having most of what gets repeated in one spot makes it easier on everyone.

When I needed to refurb the 1229 I bought I read dozens of old AK threads on Dual issues.

Well, I was kind of thinking that if it were representative threads of the basic issues, speed change, idlers. auto cycle not working, things like that which seem to come up alot.
Though that also raises an excellent point, Search AK With Google (search found at the top of the page), is a sometimes underused (or ignored) feature that gives you the world with the right phrase typed in the box.

I put together the collective wisdom on this site into a simple text file. Hoping that
it is useful to Dual'ers. Thanks to all who contributed those wonderful, invaluable tips.

It would be great if someone could organize all this information into a better format.

Wow...thats great ty. I see what you mean about the format. I think Im going to try tackling that over the long weekend. Anyone have suggestions as to the easiest way to get these docs smoothed out some?
 
If we can use some kind of free wiki, that would be great as it would
allow the information to be edited or improved.
I believe google docs also allows such collaborative work.
Anyway, I am not too savvy about that kind of thing, so I just
use an old fashioned text file :)

I meant that the information is not properly grouped or organized,
though I did try and put all related stuff in sequence.

Someone will have to extract the good/useful stuff out of it, and organize it.
I couldn't get around to it myself due to other demands on my time.
