First, I totally endorse Dual 1019s as one of the finest auto stackers; especially for 45s and 78s. Don't forget that 45s were designed for stacking; with their label area thicker than the grooved area....


Headshell/cartridge carrier problems arise when the springy contacts and headshell connections oxidize. Clean and no probs for another few years....

Now for the headliner. Any auto table should work if you "simulate" a record playing; even without any AC power supplied. So, when you are at a flea market, try this. Put your hand on the platter and spin it, continuing any cycle the player might be in the middle of completing. Keep spinning the platter, assuring the cycle is complete. If nothing happens after a few spins, it might be okay to then try the auto function. Pretend you are stacking a record or two if the player is a stacker. Swing the steady bar over the imaginary discs. Now, switch to start mode and spin the platter. If there is any record "drop" sensor, manually switch it(Garrards and V-Ms need this done to continue their auto cycle). Keep spinning the platter and the table should move the arm and drop to begin "playing" all by itself. Holding the arm, keep the spinning going manually and now move the arm to the end of the record area. The table should magically lift the arm, swing it away and drop to rest; plus shut itself off, if you keep spinning the platter.

If any auto function does not work right, the mechanism will, more than likely need disassembly, lubing then reassembly by an experienced table techie...likely to cost $100. or more. We are talking total disassembly, service then reassembly. Current values of working 1019s stateside usually do not exceed $200. for a good worker. There is no such thing as a $450. Dual 1019 in the USA unless you have a good imagination. There is also no such thing as a $450. Dual 1219 stateside, yet....
