History from internet: "The Dual 1019 turntable first began production in 1965. Like its later model cousin the 1229, it is a fully automatic turntable. Also like the 1229, it is a sought-after collector’s turntable.
"The Dual 1019, like many other Dual turntables, is a tank. The tonearm is relatively heavy as it was manufactured prior to the era of high compliance cartridges that were paired with slightly lighter tonearms. Many modern cartridges are medium compliance, and will therefore suit the Dual 1019 well."
