RE: Dual 1019 vs Pioneer PL-530

There aren't a lot of people who feel like rebuilding old turntables. They just want to use them. I'm one of those people. Besides, finding parts and lubes for old Duals is a huge pain. I had to strip another turntable for parts for my Dual 1229. I was lucky I could do that.

The guy who supplied my lubes went out of business. Terrific.

If you don't feel like doing the repair work yourself, your options are limited to the services of a very few, uncertified repairmen. I got my Dual 1229 overhauled in St. Thomas, Ontario. It was a time-consuming and expensive ordeal.

Under the circumstances, I'd definitely recommend the Pioneer turntable.
