THIS LISTING IS FOR THE DUAL TONEARM CLOSED-END STEUERPIMPEL GLIDER PAD GUIDE "CONTROL-NIPPLE-STUD."    Steuerpimpels are conditioned and pre-treated with Alvania prior to shipment. This Steuerpimpel has been used on all conventional Dual models which use this type tonearm Guide. The Steuerpimpel glider is the most common part associated with intermittent or failed lateral tone arm movement in many different automatic or semi-automatic DUAL and some Perpetuum Ebner turntable models, for many situations where the tone arm will not travel to the record or return to rest cradle. 10xx series DUAL turntables use a different type Steuerpimpel; usually it can be repaired in place and the PDF Service Guide (also offered by itself) gives detailed instructions for servicing these units. And If you have a Dual 721 go to the special listing for the steuerpimpel as it requires some custom attention.  Don't change the upper ones on Dual models with those, leave them alone.

 PDF SERVICE GUIDE ONLY: $8.49  --  UPDATED Jan 2017.  WELL OVER 525 HOURS DEVOTED TO PREPARATION,  195+ PHOTOS  AND  ILLUSTRATIONS.  (Discounts may apply - This guide is emailed upon payment and there’s no S&H). Locate separate listing for the PDF Guide only and make the purchase there. This is a nicely prepared, generously detailed and illustrated service guide that covers numerous models and has had regular updates.  See the USA eBay site for detailed listing of this PDF guide or for purchase by itself, it is emailed most often within a few hours, same day.   This PDF explains Dual turntable lubrication tips, common issues with single-multi-switch service and the anti-skate cam, video help link, detailed motor service information, dust cover repairs, Steuerpimpel tips, 10xx series servicing, and general  turntable servicing information and numerous repair suggestions in an easy to view, illustrated PDF document.  The manual alone is worth this investment; it includes regularly updated information to reflect what I've learned by servicing turntables on a daily basis. There is now a chapter featuring the Elac Miracord turntable. The PDF Service Guide is emailed same day as payment to the Paypal email on record or to one that you provide me in a payment message so that you can begin the process of restoring your turntable. 

 STEUERPIMPEL: $9.75 ea. This steuerpimpel has a closed end just as with the original, allowing for more surface contact on the main lever action plate.  It is slightly cushioned, but firm, not soft and spongy. The pad surface has a gentle curve to the edge so that it can glide smoothly and grip when it needs to. Each one is hand made, shaped and ground individually, with one closed end.  Once installed and functioning, they "seat in" and become part of the complete glide-clutch-friction system which operates the turntable.  Steuerpimpels are conditioned and pre-treated with Alvania prior to shipment.  This Steuerpimpel has been used on all conventional Dual models which use this type tonearm Guide. Fits Dual and PE turntables which use them, primarily made in the 1970s well into the 1980s. Check service manual to be sure, (10xx up to the Dual 1216 used the white mushroom-shaped pimpel which is usually repairable and discussed in my PDF Manual.  5xx, 6xx, 7xx, 12xx above 1216 models generally use the steuerpimpel in this listing)  or make a visual confirmation (often called "guide" in most translations. Some SMs don't mention it, but most likely your model uses it.   The lower one takes all the abuse, after many years the lower "guide" usually disintegrates, and .... as customer Alex said, "turns to dirt," affecting smooth arm operation for start and end-play/return. Sometimes they split in half and just disappear.  The tan ones in particular often break up into bits.   I don't recommend changing the topside pimpel (guide) by the tonearm gimbel, but if that pimpel is missing or damaged let me know. It is ok for the purchaser to have two units for the underside so that you'll have an extra to choose from thereby making it an easier repair; and it is good to have a spare which can then be secured to the inside of the base unit or used for the next Dual turntable acquisition.  

• PDF SERVICE GUIDE + 1 STEUERPIMPEL COMBINATION:    $13.94 + $2.85 S&H + nominal international postage if applicable. The order is substantially discounted with the Steuerpimpel and Service Guide combined. Locate listing for one steuerpimpel with PDF guide, make purchase for 1 pimpel + manual, order will be expedited.You can complete the order in one operation.  Tracking (USA) is included.

• PDF SERVICE GUIDE + 2 STEUERPIMPELS:  $22.90 + 2.99 S&H. The PDF guide is included with 2 steuerpimpels, Service Guide is further discounted Locate the listing with this description and make the purchase. Tracking (USA) is included. The actual listing for this package is additionally discounted.

 PDF SERVICE GUIDE with (1) 7.5ml CUP ALVANIA GREASE ONLY (discounted): $11.39 + $2.99 S&H + international postage if applicable. -- Enough Alvania to service 8-10 turntables and will be sent as soon as the order is processed, usually within 1/2 day.  PDF Guide will be emailed to you same day order is placed.  The actual listing for this item is currently on special promotion, see the listing details. 

• SINGLE/MULTI LIFTER RING (WASHER) FOR DUAL MODELS 1219, 1229, 1229Q, 1249:  $5.50 first one, $4.49 for additional rings in the same order.  2mm wall thickness assures flexibility during raise/lower operation.  Available with purchase of service guide or one or more steuerpimpels.   The old part dries out and won’t flex, making the single-multi shift Lever inoperable – or it causes other malfunctions.  Under certain conditions applying force to the shift lever with a bad SM ring in place can break the entire lift mechanism which then requires replacement of the complete tonearm or replacement of the Dearing Ring component. This durable, Tygon part resists decay and is cut straight with smooth edges, something that is difficult to do using a home-cut piece of hose, and It ships with Alvania grease already pre-applied to the inside surface. Lifter Rings and ball bearings ship with combined S&H ($3.99) with basic Steuerpimpel order.

• MOTOR BEARING FASTENER KIT, 12 PCS:  $2.75 Includes one set 3 #4-40 machine screws and matching nuts, 6 washers (3 inside teeth, 3 outside teeth) for reattaching round motor bearing cup after disassembly, servicing and lubrication. Hardware is thread-tested and mounted on screws in package. Full instructions in the PDF guide. For round motor units only i.e. 1009, 1019, 1219, 1229, etc. Felt replacement washer is available for the round motor bearing cup (they are hand-cut and trimmed, $5.75 ea).  

• BALL BEARINGS, 3 SIZES (see photo insert) BALL BEARINGS USED WITH SINGLE-MULTI LIFTER SLEEVE, Chrome Steel 3mm:  Part # 211 718   $0.65 each ball (1 pair = $1.30),  S&H piggybacks free with basic Steuerpimpel, Alvania and Retaining Ring orders. Also have 3.17mm & 4mm balls on special request (used in different models, different purposes and areas).  Prices the same,  ok to order any combination of 3 sizes after the first pair, up to 8 balls in one order.  They piggyback with combined S&H  when sold with other items.

• DUAL TURNTABLE GREASE - Alvania / Retinax: 5.5ml $4.85;  7.5ml $5.90  This is the genuine Alvania / Retinax Gadus S2 V220-2  lubricant for the Dual turntables, also many other types as well. Carefully measured and packed in sealed cups and wrapped for shipment.  Enough for servicing at least  6-10 turntables;  this is fresh in-date NLGI Grade 2, 220 cSt Extreme Pressure type high viscosity product.    Alvania / Retinax Gadus S2 V220-2 is plastics-safe high performance multipurpose EP grease, suitable for many lubrication points in the turntable. It will not dissolve the plastic parts as will some random types of lubricants.  Alvania / Retinax lasts for many years and has the right consistency for these turntables. $12 order minimum for any item combination, incl S&H.  Message me first to include this item in a custom order.
