Up for sale is a Dual 1228 idler driven, fully automated turntable/record changer.  This machine has been thoroughly tested and is working correctly.  We have cleaned and lubricated the motor bearings, platter & thrust bearings, pitch control/speed changer assembly, and the entire auto change mechanism.  We have conditioned the idler wheel with ReGrip to remove any oxidation.  This Dual's steuerpimpel has been replaced with a new aftermarket piece from Dualmaker.  We have also replaced the platter's printed strobe disc using a light contact adhesive.  This disc is placed in its factory position and is smoothly tacked.  The deck of this machine is in good condition with a few noticeable marks and scuffs present from use.  The base is also in good condition with a few light marks as well.  We have lightly sanded this base's veneer and applied Tung oil to even out its finish.  This turntable includes a Shure M91GD cartridge with a Shure stylus of unknown model.  This stylus, when viewed under magnification, shows signs of light wear.  A 33 rpm single play spindle is included.  No dustcover, manual, additional adapters/spindles, original carton or original packing materials are included in this sale.  All that is for sale is what is described above and what is seen in the photos.

This item's shipping weight will be 22 pounds.
