I have tears in my eyes...we had the same Dual in my parents stereo system. Growing up not far away from Dual's hometown of "St. Georgen",it was pretty normal to own a Dual turntable in the family.....i still have a 721 in my collection....thanks for the video,....all the best from the Black Forest, Germany!!!

@stephensams709 6 месяцев назад

I've got a 721 as well that I bought in "78" and it still works flawlessly to this day. I do use a Dynavector cartridge now and I've upgraded to a LED strobe lamp, but that is all.

@donniet8953 5 месяцев назад

Your enthusiasm is infectious. I felt like I was watching Al Capone's safe being opened again... but with much better results! Good to see this iconic brand back in production.

@expertisland 5 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it! it is fun when thinks work out. it would of sucked if it was broken after 40 years.

@420031 Год назад

I am surprised to see "Made in Germany" on the box. My 1986 505-2 says Made in West Germany on it. Very important distinction at the time :)

When I finish watching this video I am just going home to play my rega p3.. I really wish I had my dual too that I bought in 76, it was my first deck & the first album was al greens greatest Hits.

I bought a Dual CS 708Q quartz lock controlled direct drive turntable in '81. This entire line had what Dual termed an 'ultra low mass (ULM)' tone arm (straight), and came with an Ortofon cartridge. Apart from Dual's reputation, my main motivation in getting this particular TT was that, in an era of frequently warped records it could comfortably track just about anything, within reasonable limits. It worked beautifully until it was damaged by movers...

15 is the number of the inspector at the plant who checked the dust cover. Great review ! “Ooohh I have a Dual!” Lololol

@frankkuliczkowski6693 Год назад

I bought and still use my Dual 606. Purchased it at Bracks Electronics in the Yonge and Dundas area of Toronto back in 1981 or '82. Came with a cartridge. Still going strong. Absolutely love it!

@frankkuliczkowski6693 Год назад

I should add that what sold me on this turntable was that it could play records almost upside down to show off it's balanced tone arm.

@thechuckster1971 Год назад

Not almost upside down. If you put a clamp on the record it will play completely upside down. Not sure why you would want to do that but you can.

@cmichaelanthonyimages2197 9 месяцев назад

I have two. 1229Q and a 1245 belt drive with Shure cartridges. My 29 kow has an issue with pitch control. They are both 50 yrs old and still work, but for that one issue. Well made and look good also. I had a Garrard and a Pioneer until I got my Duals.

@PE4Doers Год назад

Excellent. Just to let let you know, my wife peeked in and thought something I will not mention here directly.

@glaurung666 6 месяцев назад

I own Dual CS 505-2 of 80's. It is nice simple thing, though has some typical weak points such as jammed mechanics inside and speed switch troubles (the latter is caused by shift of the switching mechanism from the platter). I also own USSR direct drive Elektronika D1-012 turntable (originally it was combined with an amplifier, but I detached it and built into new wooden cabinet) which is a true monster and superior by all points, but I love my CS 505-2 anyway.

@frederickfranchi6408 Год назад

Picked one up at a garage sale for $25 still in working condition 😃

@quebecforce111 2 месяца назад

I have the Dual Cs616Q and i love it.

@gewing61 Год назад

Nice find!!!

@ronaldweed6103 Год назад

Dual was,is,an excellent product 👌. In the early 70s a friend had an awesome DUAL turntable then. Inspection number 15 is my guess.

@barryfriend3589 Год назад

What a great find!😁

@expertisland Год назад

Thanks for watching - I was very lucky, I was gifted 3 Brand New turntables all from the 80s From a viewer, He got them from an estate sale. This all happened during LockDown. So very lucky

@TamirylAuvahn 10 месяцев назад

Dual that time had heavier MUCH heavier platters SOLID Great sound Solid bass response

@williamrivera6818 Год назад

That’s amazing

@diyforbroke Год назад

Coooooool. Bringing back good memories.

@expertisland Год назад

Thanks for watching Next will be Thorens turntable coming soon.

@BO-kh1iz Год назад

That´s a great buy! The famous and infamous plastic era 😀. Duals try to catch up with the ever stronger Japanese competition. Technically really good turntables, design is...well, but all producers went into plastic. This model was produced between 1981 and 1983. Back in the day, all Duals were Made in Germany.

@williamrivera6818 Год назад

I love it

@sergioandresgonzalez7863 Год назад

Increíble bandeja 👍

@AndyBHome 9 месяцев назад

What other turntables came from that estate sale? Do you have any idea when you'll unbox or display another one from that purchase?

@expertisland 9 месяцев назад

I have two brand new in-the-box Thorens td 115 mkii Hope to make a video so.

@arnoldtolker3505 Год назад

Du Glücklicher! Gib den bloß nicht weg! Wenn er dir langweilig wird, pack ihn dir schön weg! Und an deinem 80. Geburtstag holst du ihn wieder hervor! ;-) Ich hatte von ca. 1970 bis ca. 2017 mehrere DUAL's, von 1210 CS bis CS 5000 Golden One. Momentan habe ich einen Magnat MTT 990.

@martinezchanito632 Год назад

Could you review the Topp Pro ks218a?

Hi nice to see you again.

@expertisland Год назад

Thanks for take the time & being a subscriber 🌴

@Madjed2024 11 месяцев назад

220 dollars in 1981 has the same buying power as 738.44 dollars in 2023. I am wondering if when you said 1200 today you included the price gouging everyone is practicing because in our society greed has replaced honesty 😢

Love Dual/ Own 10, just not that model

@thechuckster1971 Год назад

It says made in Germany on most of the parts inside of it as well.

@oceansoul1714 Год назад

Are you selling boxws or tell about the item inside. OMG!!!

@jeffbrooke4892 Год назад

The use of plastic was Dual's attempt to be competitive with the Japanese tables. Plastic was far from hi tech in 1981, it was cheap. Nothing more. And the use of plastic over wood let Dual drop the price of its tables. However, it also noticeable reduced the quality of their tables too.
