What Dual is this?

And do you suppose this might be a worthwhile pickup just for the TT (as the unit itself is not working)?

Look at the number under the Dual badge --That would be it...

It's one of the low-end idler models. If it's under $50 it would be worth getting for the headshell and some other parts.

It looks like a 1211. It's not one of the more desirable ones but if it is cheap enough...

Can you read that number? I can't. Was hoping someone would recognize the model based on appearance.

Yeah, looks like a 1211 and not that great - I won't be rushing out to pick it up.

Definitely a 1211 on a Sony HP510A receiver.

I wouldn't mind having it (I'm a Dual fanboy), but this one has issues. The start/stop switch is stuck. That's not a natural position for that lever on the photo. It's all fixable .

I don't see the counterweight anywhere either.

That's a surprisingly good-sounding Sony unit. I gave my dad one for his workshop, the TT was already gone when I got it.

EchoWars, it's an underslung square thing.

I think that unit is very cool. I remember in 1970 when that style of receiver/tt units were popular the Sony/Dual unit was the best of the ones available. I was quite impressed with it.

No counterweight because the arm has only a spring. This model came in several trim levels with either two or four-pole motor and either steel or alloy platter. I have come across them all.
