Thanks for the rundown on Dual. Time I get mine off the shelf.

DUAL 1219 is one of favorite all time turntables. I restore Duals. A long screwdriver allows you to adjust the screw on a acute angle without motor removal. One loosened, there is a height adjustment screw in the pulley accessible from the top of the pulley. I do about 2 Dual units a week. I charge 500 locally for a fully serviced 1219 and 750 on ebay.

Well, there you go! Great tip...I was having an issue with the diameter of the handle of the screw driver bottoming out on the platform. I know exactually what type of screw driver your referring to, thank-you.

The 1218 originally came with a cartridge mount that has settable VTA for single or multi play.

Nice - thank you for your input! It's been a while since I've played with this table, sometimes it all becomes a bit of a blurr. As always, I welcome my follower's comments.
