Your Favorite DUAL 'Belt-Drive' Turntable

Well, the service manual for the 1245 definitely shows the strobe light at several spots (pic, explosion drawing, parts list), so a 1245 without strobe light would seem pretty unusual. There definitely were several models, that sported a platter with strobe marks, but didn't sport a strobe light, though - including for example the 505, 505-1 and 505-2.

Greetings from Munich!

I take that back, upon closer examination, there does appear to be a strobe light in the ebay listing, it was just obscured by the shadow of the platter and not illuminated.

Mine has a strobe light and slots cut into the platter to indicate speed. I think it a very efficient design.
 
I had a 510 for about three years back in the day that gave me absolutely no problems and provided many hours of satisfactory performance. I ended up sending it and all of my other gear to my brother-in-law when I was forced to downsize after graduating from college. Very nice deck for the time, in my opinion.
 
I rescued the 502 my sister owned from new. She wanted to get rid of the old stuff, thank heavens I was around at that time. Fun fact: The Rotel RX-303 receiver I also took and recapped just for the fun of it now is connected to her tv. Her much more modern system blew ...

I like the 502. It is clean and simple. Thankfully the tonearm bearing housing is not broken.
