    The Cockeyed Dirtybird (Dual 1009SK)

    I purchased a used Dual 1009 on an auction site recently. It was only $17.53 but cost an additional $48.75 for shipping to Alaska. It was listed as “Non Functional-Parts and Repair” but I had great faith that it was in pretty good shape. It was quite dirty on top, covered in dust and grime...

    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 1268 low rumble

    Ignoring all the reasons not to start trying to rehab an aged plastic turntable, I started to fix up a Dual CS 1268. After an initial belt replacement and new stylus in the original Ortofon ULM cart it seemed to be doing pretty well with manual operation. I primarily tested it using headphones...

    Dual 1226 hum

    Picked up a new to me Dual 1226 today. It’s been about 12 years since I’ve had turntables, and back then I was a wannabe dj so I was more interested in how well it could stay in the groove while I was abusing the hell out of a record. Anyhow, it came with a shure m91ed cart, looked pretty damn...
