Thanks for the tip about using heat shrink tubing to replace the steuerpimple. It worked like a charm on my 1249. Now if I could only get me pitch control to work properly...

The original "steurpimpel" for this model was made of a yellow translucent gum-rubber material that unfortunately dries up with age even if not installed into the machine. We had some in stock at the audio repair shop I worked for, but they dried out just sitting in a storage bin. I took a tip from something I read online and cut a short piece of the center insulator material from a piece of cable TV coaxial cable and fit that on to the metal lift pin in place of the steurpimple. This worked just fine. It is important to note that there is a somewhat conceptually similar rubber pimple device, actually a hard black rubber or soft plastic, that goes on the lift pin at the top of the cueing device and pushes up against the underside of a plastic paddle on the tone arm in order to do the lifting function. Those 2 pimple parts are not interchangeable! One of the frustrating things about working on Dual turntables is that not only do the exploded-diagrams leave a lot to be desired in terms of helping you easily identify the various parts in the complicated mechanisms, but if you compare the manuals for similar-appearing models in hopes of finding a better diagram or better explanation of the mechanisms' operation, identical parts will often be described by a different name or word, and may even have two different part numbers.

32:44: I just took an old lighted dial alarm clock, took everything off but the neon light and motor put it back in the case, plugged it in and instant strobe light ! Worked perfectly. Now I have the idea of finding some way to hook it up in the table bottom, run the neon tube up thru the front of the table between the base and figure out a way to mount it so it stays next to the strobe stamping on the platter. It would look stupid, but I'd be the only one that would see it. Lol. I think that would work fine.

That topic of car battery charging is exactly correct. My Chevy Volt also turns on the cooling when charging on a hot day. In addition when driving on a hot day, the battery system will use up to all the A/C capacity to keep the battery cool at the expense of the passengers. Better to keep the battery safe than ruin it and cost lots of $$$. We people can just sweat and stink. The young people don't remember that automobiles didn't have A/C in general until about 1970.

I don't know about the battery cooler using all the ac capacity. I had my 2012 in Arizona a few summers ago and it was about 122 outside and I was nice and cool inside. My comment was directed at those uneducated petrolheads that have no clue about eve's in general and write total bullshit stories that others that have been sniffing petrol fumes too long believe.

I have worked on many dozens of Duals. I hate them. They headshell design on this and some of the other models is particularly odious. The little plastic tabs that lock into place when you push the fiingerlift lever back into place tend to break, rendering the headshell useless. Also, the headshell contacts frequently turn black with tarnish and oxidation. Dried up lubrication and half-seized mechanisms in almost every area of the turntable are common.

The automatic position depending on speed is a good idea in theory. With that said, it is also a pain in the butt as I have 12" 45RPM records, and also a few 7" that run at 33 1/3RPM..... An extra lever still is good from my point of view.

That turntable looks well designed. Good fix. I've a Garrard SB86 MK2 that is mechanically err..'variable'. Underneath, it has about a dozen horrible circular bendy arms and levers that dictate pickup point, 7 inch and 12 inch drop point, and how it picks up and sets down. Don't know where to start to fix it.

regret trading my dual 1019 for a crappy gemini DJ amp. I had gotten a technics direct drive turntable and was so spoiled by it that I thought I wouldn't miss the dual. 3 years later, I have a realistic labs linear tracker for the main turntable and love it, although it will never be as collectable, cool and valuable as the dual.

The c-clip or e-clip is also known as the "Jesus" clip, as in "Jesus, where did that @#&^ thing take off to !?". By the way, if you remove the black plastic paddle, the part that it looks like it belongs on an oil pumping rig, be sure to lubricate the brass yoke underneath it, the lubrication often dries up and those parts will seize, preventing the paddle from swinging smoothly side to side. If it is seized up, you will probable have to use heat to help remove it. Typically, you can't just add lubrication and free it. Pull it off and remove the crusty dried up grease, then relube and reassemble.

Hi Dave. I have a tower fan in dire need of some TLC. Its motor sounds like it's yelling. I took note that it's a thermally protected motor, 120V 30W. It truthfully sounds like a dying cricket while under even a small load. Despite removing the screws and bending up the tabs, I can't seem to figure out how to open the motor, let alone how to get to the bearings. Any tips for an amateur? Thank you in advance.

I have 3 1237's and I restored the all to partly working condition. The stop function is the only one that doesn't work. None of them do. Everything else does, fine. It's not a big issue, but I would like them to be totally functional. I don't have a clue why they don't function at all.

The biggest issue on all those German and British record changers is lubricant dries up. Be it oil or grease. Then moisture in the air sets up corrosion between the metal parts. You have to free up every stuck part and lubricated it. The strurpimple is also a major failure point. That's the little rubber tip on the arm lift pin which provides friction with the control arm. Once they are lubricated they work fairly well untill they don't. It's an ongoing maintainence point that resulted from German over engineering. Not saying they are bad record changers they aren't but they do require additional maintenance and they need to be run regularly. Throw a record on them weekly and they will run like a champ. Do what most people do, haul them out at Christmas to play bing Crosby on and you will be servicing them every year. The one i own i overhauled for my daughter. She listened to it but left it when she moved out. Sonny boy grabbed it and guess what needed service again as it was stuck. Freed it up and still working as he listens to modern garbage on it.

Hey man I’ve been watching your videos trying to learn a lot about old cameras. I love filmmaking and editing and I recently came across these 2 old camcorders. I'm looking to start this new documentary project and I believe this super 8 camcorder will give me the exact effect I want. It turns on but I think there might be a ribbon issue because when I look thru the lens all I see is white static but I can still make out the play button in the top right when I eject a tape. Please let me know if this is something you can help me out with as no one within hours of driving knows anything about cameras.
