In Reply to: Dual 1019 posted by Kindablue on September 26, 2015 at 12:26:45:
I've had Duals serviced by a Dual specialist in Canada. Others have successfully refurbished and serviced their own Duals. There isn't a pat answer to your question about worthwhile investment.I'm guessing, completely refurbed, the 1019 isn't worth more than $450. I know a professional recording engineer who uses the 1019 for audio restoration projects. But he has his own tech who maintains the turntable.
The nicest thing about the turntable: the extremely nimble tonearm. The worst thing about the turntable: the thoroughly outdated idler-wheel drive.
