Dual 622

Yes, that's a good price for a good turntable! Just make sure everything works ok and speed is stable before paying. Being a 45 or so years old direct drive with ageing electronic components this is important to check.
If speed is off it can be an easy fix like cleaning some potentiometers. ...or something much harder/experiensive.

So far everything works. My only concern is the stylus. I think it needs a new one. It does not sound crisp as my other TT.

That's an original Dual ULM cartridge, made for Dual by Ortofon. If you'd use a little mirror, you could probably see the exact type at the bottom of the generator capsule - but most likely it'll still be the stock ULM55E.
I was able to manage in taking off the stylus. Thank you for the info. The manual are written in european languages.



You may refer to the user manual of the 626 for that purpose - see for example there on Lulabu's archive: https://www.hifi-archiv.info/Dual/626/ The 626 is pretty much the same thing as the 622, just with the start/stop lever replaced by front buttons and with an additional lift button.

In order for me to install the cart adapter 262-186, how do I take off the existing Ortofon cart? By moving the tone arm handle back the stylus would come off easily. I tried searching on youtube videos and online I cannot find one. Maybe not a lot owns a 622? I do not know. Please advice thank you.

Robbi: It's held by the screw you can see in Fig. 7 of the user manual for the 626, which I've linked to above.

Lini is spot on. Single screw unmounts the entire cart from the tonearm, the replacement cart mounts normally to the adapter, and the adapter uses the single screw to re-mount. Lini also pointed me to the Polish guy that sells the counterweight addition.
