    Dual 1229 Intermittent Noise, Video Included

    I have a Dual 1229 turntable that I've owned for around 13 years. Admittedly I have not had it serviced enough, but it's been a very solid workhorse with hardly any issues. The other day I noticed a noise, which I assumed was the motor. See YouTube video links below. I ordered a replacement...

    Dual 1229 - One Channel not working

    HI, I recently purchased an old dual 1229 (as is condition) which I cleaned up, replaced worn plastic parts, and got working mechanically. Once finished, I noticed that only one of the two channels works at any time. At first, it was the right channel, now it's the left. Sometimes, it's both. I...

    Headshell repaired with glue - Effect on sound quality?

    I got a Dual 1229 which came with the headshell (not the sled) broken where it meets the tonearm. I was succesfully able to reattach it to the tonearm with super glue, and it seems to have held up. Anyways, I was wondering what effect this has on sound quality, as I never had the chance to hear...

    Dual 1229 turntable - arm will not lift in multi position - but the service manual makes no sense to me

    I am working on a Dual 1229 for a friend. Looked to be in very good condition. Original box, all the doo-dads. But it's turning into a nightmare. I've worked on lots of Duals before including 1229's but it appears this one has been tinkered with ALL OVER and it's all out of wack. The controls...

    Pop at the start and end - Dual 1229 and Harman Kardon 730 Not the capacitor!

    I need some trouble shooting help. Right now I have two H/K730's, both recently restored. I also have two Dual TT's - a 1219 and a 1229, both also restored. Both TT's pop at start up and at the end of cycle. But only on my H/K receivers. I also have a Sansui G-7700 and a Marantz 2250B, and...

    Dual 1229Q runs slightly fast at 45 RPM

    Hi guys, I have a weird problem with my Dual 1229Q. The turntable has been fully restored and everything works. I only have one very small problem. The speed on 33 is dead on. 33.32 to be exact. This is with the pitch control at 12 a o’clock. At 45, it runs ever so slightly fast at 45.66 rpm...

    Dual 1229

    I’ve been servicing my 1229 and had this tiny bowed lock washer appear and can’t seem to find it in the exploded view. Any assistance you can give will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Dual 1229 : Strobe bulb is fine, something else is up

    I recently picked up a nice Dual 1229. Upon plugging it in and testing, I noted that the strobe isn't working. Believing that my original strobe bulb was shot, I ordered an LED replacement from dualfred in Germany. It arrived yesterday. Putting it in place of the original bulb, it exhibits...

    Dual 1229 Thrift Find

    As the title implies my wife returned from a thrift store today with a Dual 1229 that she paid $6 for. It does not function. Some reading here and elsewhere tells me: it is a great TT when working. Repairs are not simple or cheap. Some parts are made from unobtanium. I do not have the time for...

    Dual 1219 Re-assembling Motor - Need Help

    I dis-assembled the motor of my Dual 1219 as it was squeaking. I cleaned the gunk out of the bottom and re-lubed. When I was trying to re-assemble the two halves of the motor, the shaft would no longer spin freely. What's the trick? I tried carefully tightening one side 1/2 a turn, then the...

    Dual 1229 is just a touch slow and I can’t quite figure it out.

    Hello. New member here. So I cleaned up a Dual 1229 that was actually gifted to me and the motor seems to be a touch slow. I removed almost, if not all, the old grease and replaced it, took the motor apart to re-oil the felt, re-glued the strobe ring under the platter as well as a lot of...

    Hi guys =) I have a couple of 1229's, both in need of cosmetic resto. The corrosion over the brushed metal, on one, looks like it will need to be sanded back with a really fine paper all over then a clear matt varnish applied. The other has a couple of hefty scratches to sand/polish out. My...
