    Dual 1258 Turntable Cartridge help needed

    I just picked up a Dual 1259. It had some needs: platter spun backwards at times. I've got some caps coming from DigiKey that will hopefully address that situation. The left and right channel cables to the receiver/amp were horrible. Some manufacturers really offer fine cables. Duals in this...

    My first Dual. CS-622

    Well took the plunge and purchased my first Dual today. It’s from a local guy who is respected locally in the vintage scene. Mechanically a 10/10, cosmetically 8.5/10. The seller suspects the stylus has been replaced since it was made. And I guess time for me to learn about ULM. I am aware...

    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...

    Hello everyone, I use a Reloop turntable in my living room, but I recently received an old Dual HS 130 so I am using it instead. It was in a bad shape and I restored it: cleaned, greased, recaped, changed certain pots as well. I also replaced the head and the stylus (with Tonar equivalent of...

    Dual 1019 Headshell Connector Plate

    I recently picked up a Dual 1019 and discovered the tonearm wiring was a mess. As I was in the process of replacing the wiring, I uncovered this connector plate which looks as if someone had previously worked on it. I was not able to find a replacement part online and was hoping someone could...

Recently me and my friends have gotten back into playing old (and new) vinyl at our shared space. I've been struggling to keep our aged tables from dying. I'm currently using an...

    Dual 704 problem

    Hi guys! I really love my Dual 704. Sounds great and it's really reliable. There's one thing though that's bothering me and it's that cracking noise when I move the tonearm into the starting position. I opened it up and put some contact cleaner onto the switch that's released when the tonearm...

    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 606 tracking force adjustment issue.

    I have a dual 606 turntable that has an issue with the tracking force adjustment where it only increases by like 0.4 grams even when going from 0-3. I assume this is an issue with the spring but I have never had one of these tonearms apart so I don't know how the mechanism works. Is this...
