    Help with Dual 1257 automatic start

    Hello! I recently bought a Dual 1257 and noticed that I had to switch the start knob to begin turning the table, then manually set the needle to play anything. After looking at different threads, I figured it was the steuterpimpel that needed to be replaced. I did that, and the manual start...

    Dual 1245 plinth dimensions

    Waiting for a 1245 plinth to get shipped to me, but there’s someone selling a 1257 for parts locally near me. Will the dust cover for the 57 fit the 45? Or are the overall dimensions of the plinths/covers different? Related question. Is the 1245 plinth deep enough to work with a 1219?

    Losing my mind over Dual tonearm wires.

    I needed to replace my tonearm wires on my Dual CS 1257 because the originals broke and couldn't hold a solder, very brittle. I ordered another set from a rip-out place, and they proved to be equally brittle. I cleared all of my solder with a wick, and this is my third attempt. These are the...

    Cork/rubber mat for Dual 1257

    I have an older Dual 1257 turntable and was thinking about using a cork/rubber mat instead of the original rubber one. The original mat has raised rings. I've read a few things about this, but do you think it would be ok to trim a mat to fit? Or do I need to preserve the ring effect? The mat I...

    Dual CS 1257 RCA cable replacement

    I have a Dual CS 1257 that needs a total RCA cable replacement, the wires were clipped very short. I've spliced in a new one for now, works fine. But I've noticed the older copper is much thicker on the original wire. Also, it has those spade push connectors. Question, I see an original Dual 505...

    New Dual 1257 on its way

    My first turntable of my adult life is on its way. It's a new Dual 1257, and when I say new, I mean never used and in original condition. I got it for $195 including shipping to Alaska so I'm happy with the price. I'm really worried about how well it was packaged, and how badly it may be beat...

    Slightly more than a noob..!!

    Hi All, While I am new to joining, posting and contributing on the forum, I am not a noob in the sense that I have been using the resources that the forum has had to offer for several years now. Somehow, I never thought that I had the pieces to fit into this forum. It is truly a privilege to be...

    New cartridge and stylus needed for Dual 1257 turntable

    Hey there everyone, I'm new here (like Gil Scott-Heron). I recently picked up a used Dual 1257 turntable. It's my first turntable other than a crappy Crosley that was given to me as a gift. Don't worry. It's in the trash now. Anyway, I need a new cartridge and stylus and I'm not sure how to...
