Dual 1219
3-Speed Fully automatic Idler-drive turntable
Description
Despite its versatility and precision, the Dual 1219 is quite easy to operate in either single play or multiple play mode.
It is also quite difficult to damage.
If you happen to switch to start when the tonearm is locked on the resting post, just wait till the switch returns to neutral, unlock the tonearm and start again.
If the speed is set at 45rpm when you have a 33rpm record on the platter, just change the speed accordingly, even if the tonearm is already cycling.
You can also do the same with the record size indicator.

Operating Manual
Submitted on January 18th, 2010 by GiantwarderI'm a brand new member. I don't know why? But, lately I've started getting into collecting turntables. But I digress... A coworker gave me this Dual 1219. The idler wheel doesn't make contact with the motor. The only switch that seems to operate to the correct stops is the record size selector. The master operating switch seems to have too much travel, and the speed sector switch is jammed. This may be a rather involved restoration project.

Sometime ago my little ones, now grown, wrecked my Dual 1219, it sat for a long time in the basement. Last Month while cleaning up we ran across it on the shelf and fixed it with all our skills. Its perfect once more! LIKE NEW but no manual and needle (stylist or what ever ya want to call it).

Submitted on March 3rd, 2009 by jhonedwardsthanks for the service manuel for dual 1219. I'm hoping I can fix the problem-I jarred the table and now the tonearm will not lift automatically and into start position alsoat the end of the record the arm only goes backa couple of inches and then drops again to the record instead of retuning and shutting off. Any suggestions?

Submitted on March 12th, 2009 by dehoberga couple of things to try
1) put the tonearm on the rest and lock it down with the keeper, and turn the switch to start and let it run a cycle - that is supposed to be some kind of auto-reset
2) There is a "steurpimpel" on the end of the shaft that drives the mechanics of the arm, etc. -- it sometimes comes off/breaks
"google" up pimpel, dual, and 1219 to get a picture of where it is located
