Have to agree with Seth (Notransistors) about motors. Never had problems other than I could not get one apart to clean and oil it. It sat too long in a damp basement. Other than that they all came apart and back togather working happily along. I'm old and have seen a lot of Dual motors. A few had a bad cap inside the start switch. Stole a cap off a junk table and all was well.
If the motor is frozen, you can remove it, take it apart, clean and oil it. Doubt it's bad. I do have a working motor if you need it. Free to a good home! I have cleaned and oiled it so it's ready to go. It was on a 1229 that had more problems than I have time to list! Let it sit as a complete sort of working turntable for a year. Grudgingly, I made it a parts table. A donor for three 1219s!. There are many Akers that can help,getting that 1219 working. My three "parts" units have worked out well. Two I will keep. One went through hell with me. Keeping it as it had many problems. We went through the wars togather. Cosmetically 8 out of 10. Found an early 1219, parts unit that was too nice to junk. Nice and came out really good. This one is perfect! Learned it's slightly different underneath. A keeper. Have 4. Once gone through, your 1219 will run without issues. Good luck. Post with. Questions!
