Plinth was $200+ guys...
The other "guy's" estimate was off by more than a factor of 2. My upward estimate for the price of a fully refurbed 1019 was actually a little low, as it turned out, and I provided documented proof, unlike the other guy, who was just spouting off.These efforts to show that I was wildly wrong, or that I was imagining things, look both comical and pathetic.

It is not your imagination that I challenge; at all...It is the crazy prices asked by imaginative sellers.
How long will a $450. Dual 1019 stay for sale ?
The beauty of this hobby is everyone does not like the same things. One member loves direct drive, for me I love the 1219 idler drive. I sold one back in February and had seller's remorse. I contacted Bill at Fix My Dual and had him to build another one.
The 12X9 series has been said to be some of Dual's best turntables. The 1019's platter is a couple inches smaller than the 1219. An LP will overhang by a couple inches.
Bill is a wonderful guy and great to do business with. He's a country boy, very down to earth. He has the largest parts inventory for Dual turntables in the US. He is also a wood worker by trade and makes his own plinths. The dustcovers are specifically made for him. He is a one man operation who does great work. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for any Dual turntable to contact him.
If I did not have two quartz-locked direct drive Technics (both are 78/45/33 capable) in my studio, I'd be happy using a Dual on a daily basis. In fact, I do own a Dual 1219, a 1229Q and an Elac Miracord and will not get rid of them. I have put many hours on all three of them and they're very capable performers. That said, I would not put a lot of time, effort and money into refurbishing a 'basket case' Dual.
