Dual 1229 Turntable

Superb sounding Dual 1229 for sale. Recently serviced, this beautiful turntable is ready to play all your vinyl favorites. Recently serviced, all functions work as Dual intended them to. All parts were removed, cleaned and lubricated. The chassis was cleaned and waxed and in excellent condition but not pristine due to minor cosmetic issues. Please look at all photos. Both bearings in the motor have been oiled and the idler wheel serviced. The edge and center of the platter have been polished to a high shine. The dust cover and plinth are both in excellent condition and have been sound deadend for better listening pleasure. Here's what Chat Gpt says about the advantages of sound deadening.

"You sound deaden a turntable plinth the heavy base that holds the motor. platter, and tonearm) to stop external and internal vibrations from reaching the record player stylus

Why Deaden a Plinth?

Reduces Resonance: Motors and spinning platters create tiny vibrations that can travel into the music

Stops Feedback: Loud speakers can cause low-frequency acoustic feedback (a rumbling sound loop) by shaking the turntable base.

Improves Clarity: Materials like butyl rubber or adhesive mats absorb movement, leading to a tighter bass response and cleaner sound."

The tonearm has been serviced and all adjustments have been made with an Ortofon FF 10XE and excellent stylus. When you purchase one of my restored turntables, they come with my tech support free of charge.
