Setting aside the issue of getting something for personal use, if I were collecting Dual idler wheel turntables for possible restoration and resale, the only ones I would consider are the 1019, the 1219, and the 1229.
The 1215 looks like a real dog. I don't know what Dual had in mind there.
A turntable I sometimes use for testing purposes is a Dual 1242, which is a later belt-drive model. It doesn't have the performance issues that the idler-wheel Duals have and it's just an overall slick little deck.
