Description: For someone looking for the best of the best Dual turntables this 60 year old machine is it. It’s totally rebuilt and refurbished, spotless and looks like it just out of the box. It plays exactly the same as when it was built. *It has the best of everything that Dual ever produced and some label it as one of the best turntables of all time. This is the latest version of the 1219 where the cue arm works with multiplay. • This original maybe 50 years old Walnut Lunch Box has been restored . A bit of Gold has been added to enhance the beauty of the box. *A special component is the highly rated Shure V15 TYPE 11 Cartridge . It has as a new stylus giving it a great sound. This alone is a $250 value. *This precision German made machine weighs 22 lbs with 277parts ( including microscopic wires) that all have to work precisely together. • The beauty of this Dual 1219 is unlike other turntables as this specific table (with rebuilt gyroscope gimbal) has been designed to continuously play up to 7 33’s & 7 45’s at a time and automatically shuts off. It can play single mode so the tonearm is parallel to the album. *It’s the last Dual that is all metal and no plastic . The tonearm has been vertically balance set, leveled, cued, azimuth set, speed tested, anti skating set and everything completely degreased and lubricated. *This heavy non-magnetic, dynamically balanced 12” platter was designed for a low level vibrations. *The extra long 8.75” tonearm was also designed for a solid turntable with excellent sound output. *If you’re not interested in a multi play TT you don’t need to buy this. There are single play TT from $100-$4,000. This table will sound as good as any of them. *This table has a pitch-control knob for excellent speed control for fine-speed adjustments for all 3 speeds permits a platter speed variation of 6 % *A German made Workhorse that is impossible to reproduce and good for at least another 20 years it is a collector’s item and will always be going up in value. *You will see the same TT from $300 up and advertised as works. That doesn’t mean everything works. You don’t want to buy a broken Dual. I give my phone # for every purchase to help set it up and there are always problems from being thrown around. Which are minor. • Stereo Review Magazine: “In every respect a very smooth, flexible and easy-to-use record player will accommodate the most advanced cartridges at their minimum usable tracking forces.” • STEREO & HI-FI TIMES Magazine: “If you want to sacrifice virtually nothing (certainly nothing you will hear) get a 1219.
