I'd go with a V15III on the 1219. They frequently pop up either here, AudioGon, or Ebay. Unless NOS, I'd go with a JICO replacement stylus, so no problem buying a body, then the proper stylus. The combination will sing beautifully on the 1219, giving you a very strong taste of what sound was like "back in the day". Styli, by the way, are not generally interchangeable between the V15 types. IIRC, there is a chart showing which styli go with what carts. Again, google is your friend.

I don't have a III on hand. PM me if you're interested in a V15IV which I bought NOS and only put about 100 hours on before mounting a V15VRS on my Grace 707 tonearm. It should work fine on the Dual.
