RE: Dual 1019 vs Pioneer PL-530

I beg to differ. If you find an old 1019 that has been sitting for years you will find a mechanism caked with hardened grease and hardly working. Also an idler wheel that has probably hardened. Get past these hurdles and you'll find a very robust table built for the long haul. One caution....be careful of the headshell on the 1019 tonearm. It's proprietary and rare.
I found and rebuilt one about 7 years ago and have enjoyed many relatively trouble free hours on it. I really need to learn to leave well enough alone sometimes. It inspired me to take a Rek-o-Kut B12h and transform it into a transcription table this past summer.
