That's a lot of money for 40+ year old complex mechanical devices.

The Thorens is a fairly simple belt drive affair, easier to maintain than the complex automatic Duals. The 1019 is a changer no less...

The Duals are idler wheel drive so their nature is different than the relaxed playing Thorens. Drive, PRAT. The little 1019 is the sleeper IMHO. Short arm, tricky to set up properly. Again, complex machine, condition is everything, make sure it has been refurbished by a pro.

I sold a few TT from my collection recently. My TD145mk2, 1019 and 1219 aren't going anywhere though.
