You should check out http://www.vinylengine.com/. There is a ton of information about all kinds of turntables, including a manual for your model.
Thanks-
I am thinking I want to replace the wires too, they are not in great shape. Does anyone have a source for these wires?
The first photo is of the rca cable connection. I am guessing the top wire is pos, the middle neg and the bottom wire a ground.
The second and third photos are of the power cord connection. Its a large white plug with two connections inside.
Any thoughts as to how I can replace these?

Great thanks! I have been trying to find a manual.

If you find a good source to replace that white connector, please pm me. I want to replace the power cord on my Dual.

the rcas are left, right (or right, left) and ground. and i think the power connection is a molex.
yea it is!
You cant tell from the photos, but both wires have been taped in one spot each- I am assuming to fix cracks in the rubber wire insulation.

Rockin and Rollin....
You can remove the lugs from the connector, bend the metal to open them up and remove the lugs from the wires, install new wires and reinsert the lugs...
Not an easy chore, but very doable.
I had been thinking about trying that, but I don't want to damage it in the process-it does still work.
The rca cable is in the worse shape of the two. Would any rca cable work? Sorry for the basic questions- and thanks all the help.

Use short cables. 3' is ideal. Make sure that you continue to use the strain-relief clamp shown in thumbnail #1. Get a set of decent cables, cut off the plugs at one end, strip and tin the wires, and solder directly to the lugs in place of the pushons.
Avoid audio cables that have death-grip-type RCA plugs. Monster and others promulgate the myth that super-tight plugs are highly desirable -- even necessary -- for good sound. This is nonsense, and worse: these death-grip-type plugs can be highly destructive to the jacks on your amplifier.
Just make sure that the cables are supple, that they use well-shielded coax, and that the plugs are gold-plated.

On the 1009, make sure you check the idler wheel. They tend to harden with age, leading to audible rumble and torque problems during the cycling process.

Big Vandies!! Mwahahah...
Pull out the spindle then the metal disk that is around it (it is held in by three "fingers" from the platter mat) under that is a C clip, take that off and the platter will lift right off (don't drop it on your foot, it is bloody heavy).

Yep, speed stability through shear inertia. :yes:
