dual 521

Total TT Newb.. I am trying to get my Dual set up and have found useful but scattered pieces of info out there. I have a Dual CS521 Are these the correct steps: 1 - balance the tone arm 2 - determine tracking force of cartridge and stylus 3 - confirm that tracking force is correct with stylus...

I am trying to slim down my turntable collection. I have a Dual CS 521, a realistic Lab 440, and a technics sl-1350. If you could keep one. Which one and why?

Hi Everyone, I've been advised that my Dual 521 turntable needs an AC motor & tone arm mechanism rebuilt, belt and stylus replacement, cleaning & lube plus adjustments. In your opinion, is it worth repairing for $260.00? Please advise when time permits and thanks...
