In my collection:704: the 700 range DD Duals, excellent. Try to get a 701.
1226: average consumer idler wheel drive TT. Nice but nothing special.
1219: now we're talking. 3.1 kg platter, washing machine motor, decent arm. Surprisingly quiet for a big idler, amazingly good even in stock form. Brother: 1229. Father: 1019.Other good ones: CS5000, 505 with wooden plinth, 1249.
Problem with Dual: the complexity of mechanics and later on electronics. Not easy to repair, hard or impossible to tweak. Hard to change the arm.
