Pat's Audio 1/2" Cartridge Adapter 269-611 for select Dual turntables with the ULM tonearm (Gray). Our cartridge adapter allows for the use of a standard 1/2" mount cartridge. 

We developed our proprietary and superior design and it has proven to be the most popular, reliable, and highest quality with over 400 sold. It is fabricated from a strong, durable high quality plastic that won't break at the latch hooks like the injection molded type. In fact, we've never had a latch hook break or deform. 

And unlike other adapters ours is the same dimension as the original insuring an accurate fit and proper weight. We use precision fixed gold plated contacts set in the same straight line pattern as the original. These precision fixed contacts don't exert undue pressure on the headshell like those with bulky over-sized spring loaded pins.  

Our features include:

• same width and length as the original Dual design 
• flush fit with no undue pressure from contacts
• fixed gold plated signal contacts in the optimal size, height, and row alignment
• silver coated multi-strand wires 
• premium alloy round cartridge connectors 
• highest quality silver based solder with clean, precise joints
• security locking grub screw

Our cartridge adapter fits the 505, 505-1, 506-1, 508, 528, 607, 608, 617Q, 627Q, 708Q, 728Q, 741Q, 1254, 1258, 1268 turntable models. It will properly fit all of the models listed. And as Dual turntable experts we can quickly advise you whether this is the proper adapter for your tonearm. 

And we now offer the all-important companion cartridge alignment gauge for this adapter. Please visit our store for the listing and to learn more about the alignment gauge.

Please note when using a 1/2" cartridge adapter on Dual models with the ULM tonearm a supplemental counterweight is sometimes necessary. See the appropriate Dual turntable operating manual for more information about when the supplemental weight is recommended or contact us for fast and friendly assistance.  Visit our ebay store where you can choose between two different supplemental counterweights.
