Dual turntable steuerpimpel replacement (701, 1209, 1219, 1229 etc.) 

I have owned Dual turntables for 50 years. Now I know what a steuerpimpel is.

Thanks. Couldn't have done it without this video : ) Perfect.

Thank you for an excellent instructional video. As someone who watches many DIY videos and also as someone who owns several Dual turntables, your very complete and well produced tutorial is much appreciated.

I replaced mine with a piece of rubber eraser from the end of a pencil. I measure the diameter of the metal peg, drilled a hole in the eraser, cut it off and stuck it on top of the metal peg, works great. Great video, very clear and well explained, especially your disassembly and handling method, thank you so much for sharing !

At 08:25 -- The first action should be to cycle the table in automatic mode with the arm locked on the tonearm. This re-synchronizes, or re-homes, the movements. This instruction is found in the service manual on page 15, last paragraph. I would not consider any adjustments until this step is performed.

A really great, well spoken and close up filmed video!! Well done! I have been repairing Duals for years now, but always check to see what I can learn. thank you.

Thank you for precise and no-fuss instructions. Perfect!

Fantastische video Josse

You are the best

Thank you!

Thank you

thank you very much

Thank u for this helpful video!! Thanks to this video I was able to fix my Dual CS435. The tone arm didn't go back all the way but went back down halfway through the record. I was using it like that for more than 2 years. I bought it second hands for less than a case of beer, knowing it had some issues.. but i was never able to fix this. Then I ran into this video and thought.. would my model have such a pimple? and yes my "newer" model Dual record player also has a steuerpimpel.. or rather, it had one. a very very small one.. and it was broken into a few pieces. I couldn't find one that small anywhere online and ended up using a piece of a ballpoint pen and now finaly everything works great again!!

GREAT!

Thank you for your explanation. Can you explain how to install and calibrate the tonearm?

hi @ArtOfVinyl Turntable Repairs, i have two Dual turntables, the 505 and the 650 rc, but both have the same problem, the platter doesn't stop at the end of the album. for the 505 i know that it hasn't auto-return but i read somewhere that it should stop the platter and lift the arm by itself at the end (not sure if its true) but the 650 its a semi-automatic so it should auto-return. Have u any idea of what could cause this issues and how to solve it? Thank you very much

GREAT OLD TURNTABLES FOR THE PRICE // HINT> BUY BLUE TACK FROM DOLLAR STORE SPREAD LIGHT EVEN COAT TO INSIDE BOTTOM OF TABLE, THIS WILL TIGHTEN UP THE BASS QUITE WELL, I SOLD DUAL & DID MODS. ON THEM BACK IN THE 60s THRU 80s

H, I found your channel and I need to ask for your help. I have a DUAL 1256 and the tonearm lift lever is not working, I opened and check but everything seams ok, don't know if I can but any new part or if you could be so nice to make a tutorial how to fix that thing. I live in Germany so if I need to buy any part would be not a big deal to send from the NL (or I least I hope). Thanks for your help

I have a Dual 1219 and the Start/Stop stopped working. Do you have an idea of what caused this?

Awesome video, managed to repair the auto start/stop on my Dual 601! Do you know how to exactly adjust the position at which the automatic start function starts? It goes a bit too far in my case, starting around half way through the first song of a LP.

If I buy from Canada how long it will take to ship? It doesn't specify when I try to order

At 05:25, "This seems to be in correct working order...". What? How could you tell anything was working properly? Maybe YOU could tell, but we couldn't tell anything of the such.

Sir, I have same turntable where can we get the pimple.

Hello. I am wondering if your steuerpimpel would fit a Dual 1237 belt drive model? I had to buy a replacement (got two of them, wasn't sure why), and they didn't work too well. They were made of rubber, the mould they came out of clearly wasn't great, and as a result, the tone arm would cycle to the start groove on the record, and then jut out a bit before the stylus landed. I ended up, after many frustrating hours, having to cut one of them in half. It worked until it popped off the metal post (on my model, the steuerpimpel is on the underside of the turntable, upside down). I took the second one then, and several more frustrating hours of trying to file down the bloody thing, I then cut this in half as well, but instead of the tip being preserved, I clipped it so the shaft was used, and the tip was discarded. It works! But...I like having correct parts, not make shift bush repairs done on my equipment, so I'm hoping your product (which looks a damned sight better than the junk I ended up with) will fit my turntable, and leave me with several more years of listening enjoyment in the process. I am in Canada, does your shop deal with North America? Thank you for your time.

adjustable hedshell is from a dual recordchanger turntable , pronaly the 1249 ....

hello thanks for videos, i have learn too much because of you, i have problem with my 1219. tonearm doesn't drop correct position on 7 inch records. 12 inch record there is no problem. start an end points are correct. where should i look?

Has anyone seen a video like this for the Dual 622?

Only problem was it appeared as though the stylus cantilever suspension failed, given it bottomed out when you lowered the tonearm. Either that, or your tracking force was too much.

hi i have a dual 1225 where is the steuerpimpel in this turntable ?

I had my repair guy in Long Island (who specializes in Dual) tell me that he got rid of the old steuerpimpel and now there's no anti skate option on my turntable, but not to worry. He said it didn't matter. Your thoughts?

Removing the cartridge should be done First. And a 701 doesn't need / shouldn't have a carrier with single/multi settings. Those are for small-platter changer models Only.

Does this work for the Dual 1288?

Can you still play records if you dont have the steuerpimpel? Can you just do the movement yourself?

The 1209 is not like that...

26k,

Mehr dreckiger Staub als Dual-Plattenspieler, wo bleibt da die Sorgfalt?

Und das alles bitte nochmal in DEUTSCHER Sprache!

Was haben Steuern mit pimpeln zu tun ? 😂
