Thanks for the video. I've got one of these in pretty reasonable condition but walked away from it a few months ago after getting completely frustrated trying to the the mechanism to operate properly. Take it apart, put it back together, and repeat. Several times. Some of these closeups will really help me see how the German engineering was meant to operate.

When I worked at Grundig, we did some extensive maintenance on the Satellite radio units, involving taking out all the rod switches. We used vaseline on the contacts, I guess not wery known nowadays. Spraying all kind of oils into the equipment is really only lazy work. Better to dismantle things totally to find the problem. It will take time, but its the only way. For all kinds of corroded metals, my favourite is autosol metal polish. Man, memories arise, The Grundig Satellite 2000 and 2100 really the state of the art radios with upper side band and lower side bands. I did learn morse when I was in the military in 1987 in northern Sweden. We did sit in our vehicles at night listening to "enemies". We did do morse code with the soviets, although it was forbidden, talking to them about music and computer games. I did not know that WD40 could gum up like that. There is something silicon based here called 556 universal oil that turn into a chewing gum like thing after a while. At my hospital we use a lubrication oil that will last for a long time, if not exposed to dust.

Happened to me as well... silicone lubricant turning into pure SILICONE caulking. I believe the modern counterpart of vaseline (I suppose grease) is the modern lithium based (if I remember correctly) white grease. I have bought some on the basis that I see 30+ years older machines that still have this kind of grease still effectively wet and greasy, so it must be a very good formula to last for so many years, unlike several other type of oils which I usually find no traces of, if they ever used them at all in production.

I have 2 1019's. With a good cartridge these are one of the best sounding Dual Turntables.

Your work, along with the going prices, has inspired me to revive my garage queen, DUAL 1219 turntable. Luckily my DUAL has been in my possession since new.

Hi 12voltvids. Holy crap that work was awesome, all the wd40 and everything else was amazing to see, but truly great work, the weight of it was a very amazing, a good workout for your arms( just kidding) but I love your work you do ,even in the heat of the TV was on test. my God it was a pig of a job, everything stuck badly, I have to say you have to say you have great patience and patience is a virtue, but you have them. Kind regards from Jim.👍👍👍

I bought a Benjamin Miracord from a estate auction paid nothing for it. The turntable had spent a great deal of its life in a shed. After a day of cleaning and breaking the parts free from rust nd and hardened grease it played ok. It has the wrong spindle but works like a semiautomatic. Those German turntables have a lot of weight but, they sound very nice. Your patience with repair is very good.

I have a Dual 1229 which is essentially the same. For what they are they are very nicely made and with a bit of TLC they can perform very well. The biggest problem is the idler wheel which is not obtainable and causes wow and flutter problems when the rubber goes hard. A reasonable fix is to put the wheel in a slow speed drill and rough the surface up with some emery paper. I have to do this every few years but it restores the performance nicely. The other thing to be careful of is when the turntable is inverted to work on the ball bearing which sits under the arm lever falls out leaving one to ponder where it came from. An exploded view shows where it belongs.

Love my 1219 and 1229 with a little work they will give hours of enjoyment !

Thanks for posting this video. I had a similar experience with a 1264- hours of time trying to get it right, messing with the "steurpimpel" and such, and I have the original paper factory service manual. Motor wouldn't spin, wouldn't come up to speed, mechanism wouldn't cycle- unfortunately, it's still pretty finicky- I'm gonna clean it some more, and remove some of the three in one oil that I applied...

Yes, the "steurpimpel". I'm quite sure this little bit of plastic on my 1019 has been worn down to a point where it needs replacing. I'm experimenting with some ideas that may work, kind of like how 12voltvids used the concrete wall anchor and bolt, washers and nuts counterweight in this video! I was hoping 12voltvids might have had to explore this area of the turntable but I guess he didn't need to. Or want to!

I have this same model I'm about to do a deep dive. This was very informative

Did you ever try to spray clean it? There's a couple of quick solutions for parts that I use: bike chain cleaner, acetone and isopropyl alcohol. Bike chain cleaner can be deeply unsafe for rubber but probably works best as the can is high pressured. Acetone can also work well but vapors are extremely flammable and prone to ignite and is unsafe for plastics. For fingernails I've read it can be smothered with glycerin but I wouldn't bet it would also work on plastics. Isopropyl is probably the best when sprayed and better if worked with a brush, yet it is unsafe for clear plastics used in display windows (still several times milder than acetone). They can be permanently stained. But sometimes somebody's gotta do it, especially for a quick evaluation of a machine before spending time for deep disassembly of something you're not familiar with, take note step by step, have several attempts... judging by the appearance of the device this is one of those units that I'd dare to try... where spraying with isoprop and a clean paper towel underneath you could appreciate the gunk dripping away from parts. I WOULD NEVER EVER DIP a PCB in acetone or chain cleaner. Isopropyl could be safer but it's not a cure all tool... I would never spray it over transformer area for example. You must know what you're doing... a lot like WD40 which I never use for electronics repair. I tend to use a de-oxidant product which has washing characteristics and leave a very thin oil residue, almost unable to provide significant lubrication but still having some relief for moving parts. One should use a proper oil afterwards or use it just for parts designed to have tight tolerances like sleeve bearings of small capstan driveshafts.

Run. Run far away!

I picked up one at a resale shop for 10.00 , In damn near mint condition. Cleaned out all the old grease and oil and it works fantastic....

When they work they work ok but you have to use them all the time or they gum up

The BIC I bought had a frozen platter and there was Oil all over the back and side of the Chassis. I bet somebody used it on that as well. I just used a soldering iron in the stacker hole and it freed right up. Works like new.

The 1019 uses a AW2 stacker spindle. The 1218, 1219, etc, uses the AW3.

This episode brought to you by wd-40 lol.

People did that to VCRs too. If it squeaks, it must need wd 40. Started out with a slipping load belt but what a mess. The brakes, back tension band, and idler clutch are done for. One time was lucky to have a spare deck plate to swap.

That one won't work. It never worked. Why? Because the index pin that normally locks the spindle into the platter base is sticking up higher than where the record would sit on the platter thereby stopping the record from actually even making contact with the platter. So the only way that spindle would work would be to set the record on the platter and then stick the spindle through the hole in the record. This turntable had been cannibalized. Someone took not only the spindle but the counterweight probably sold them before selling the guts are giving the guts to the guy that brought it to me. Perhaps the guy that gave it to me stole the parts to fix another one and then gave me the remains but one thing for sure with the spindle that was on there it could have never played a record and I think that someone stole the spindle put the wrong spindle in cut a hole in the top so that the top would sit on it and then covered it with a vinyl tape so the top would sit down on it and then sold it. That's kind of what I think happened on this unit was it got sold to someone unsuspecting. but there's not a snowball's chance in hell that that spindle that was on the unit when I got it would do anything and the only way it would actually even work would be to cut about an inch off the bottom of it so that the locking pin could fit into the slot on the turntable but it would have to be cut sufficiently short so that the mechanism would not make contact with it when an autocycled otherwise it would jam the mechanism because this mechanism is specs to push up on the base of the spindle and that type of spindle that's in it is expecting a lateral moving arm to activate the record drop mechanism.

16 RPM were typically transcription records. They're also used by seaburg in their music machine but it also used a much larger center hole than even 45s used so to play those records you need an adapter which today could be relatively easy made. I-16 RPM transcription record maybe I can borrow it from him sometime in show it off. 16 RPM obviously offered a much longer playing time but at a reduced fidelity and that's why seeburg used them in their music service machine. I don't have one of those I've seen one once I wish I had one I know tecmoan has one. We had an old seaberg 1000 background music system at the cable station that I worked at back in 1980 81 82. It had been used to play the background music that ran over the message board when the community station was off air. I still remember the system quite well I wish I was able to grab it but it was leased. Our old message board that we had was a joke and I only saw it a few times because I worked on the TV production side and the message board was on the cable TV office side. It was in the furnace room along with the hot water heater and a breaker panel that controlled lights in one of the studios. that's when I got to see it when I had to go reset a trip breaker. But the message board was so primitive it had been installed in the late '60s or early seventies and it showed. We nicknamed it turnabout or carousel or many other names for this ridiculous piece of equipment. It was made out of wood, had a clock, wind speed and wind direction gauge, thermometer and barometer. Between each of the instruments was a slot where a paper card with a typewritten community announcement message was placed. This was turned by a barbecue rotisserie motor and it was a small mechanical switch that protruded were each of the message-based cards would sit. When this mechanical switch was tripped the motor would shut off and it would start a 22nd timer so that it would stop turning for 20 seconds to give the person time to read the message then it would start turning again so the clock or the wind speed would just turn past the camera to the next message came up it would stop. It had a black and white Hitachi closed circuit camera focused on the gauges and card and was illuminated with 2 40 watt incandescent bulbs. This contraption used to sit on top of the water heater and next to it was a seaburg 1000. I remember one time watching this thing run for a few minutes. It would play the top side of the record the arm would retract the spindle would reverse directions and it would play the bottom side if the record once the bottom side finished it would retract drop the next record down and start over and I think it would hold five or six records each one each side playing I think 30 to 40 minutes per side. Once the last record finished playing the mechanism would hoist them all back up to the top and it would start over. That system ran for years. When I was a kid growing up I used to put on channel 10 and watch this thing turn around when the station wasn't on the air. Then I started working there and saw what it really was which I thought at the time was kind of cool obviously something that was built in house by the engineer. I did volunteer work there for a couple years and then did an internship when I was in college studying broadcast. By that point the seaberg was gone as was roundabout and he'd been replaced by a multicolor message board computer. The music then had transitioned to an auto reverse Sony reel to reel tape deck that took 10 and 1/2 in reels. At least tapes from a licensing company. I remember one night I put my own mixtape on and left it running when I shut the station down. In the morning I had a very unpleasant discussion with my boss and the station manager. something about royalties for the music that I had put on the community station overnight. They weren't impressed. Big sticker was stuck on the tape and it said do not play this ever again.

How could someone do this to a dual! They are good turntables!

Free Dual 1019 turntable full of WD-40. Yeah, this is going to get messy. May take 1/4 of a bottle of IPA and 1/2 of a box of Q-tips to clean it up. It's like a down the rabbit hole clean up job for sure. After much fiddling you got it back to a reasonable working condition . Now we know that wow does depend on using a heavier turntable platter.

I have a couple of questions for you...First of all, are you in Canada? Second, I have a Dual 606 that the speed has slowed down. It doesn't vary, just slower. It is a DD... My experience with machines of that vintage is they ALL need to be fully degreased to get them working properly again...

Another one saved! This job is the perfect proof some people should never touch nice equipment with their "greasy and sticky" fingers, and WD40. I also had such kind of problem, multiple times, and these record players are the best victims because they look simple, but are most of the time the result of fine mechanical adjustments, 50 years of development (for these German turntables)... And DW 40 never never has to touch any fine mechanism if you're not into sabotage or simply stupid. This 1019 should probably benefit from few parts like a counterweight and spindle, but your makeshift Frankenstein solutions are probably the best to proof it's functional, as you can always find bad surprises or really destroyed parts. In the same idea, a new cover or a new cartridge could be more costly than necessary as it's mostly the future owner's choice. These old Dual are surprisingly good with their heavy platter, enormous motors and spindle, and with the proper (and patient) maintenance, probably the dream of that future owner.

The item is Steuerpimpel, used in all Duals.

First job some spirit on a cloth and clean all surfaces of grease to make a better surface to work on it will then be less a dust magnet too.It fought you all the way.

I have to wonder if WD40 alone could gum up a mechanism that badly. I've put it on lots of things, even flooded the gap around a window to ant-proof it (it's amazing as a pesticide) and I've never seen much residue at all once it dries. Could they have used some other kind of oil and simply used too much? The oils they used at the factory on Garrard and BSR changers hardens like glue; it's almost as if they used cooking oil in those days. Whatever they used had to be fairly flame resistant, so it wasn't the idea long term lubricant.

It is a combination of the old lubricant and WD-40 and add to it that WD-40 is a dust magnet and you have an instant headache.. The designers and builders of Dual turntables didn't think or expect their turntables to last 30,40 , 50 or even 60 years.and for them to last that long is a testament to great design and engineering..At the time they used the best oil or grease for their intended purposes..With modern oils and greases, Many of the older turntables will outlast their modern counterparts because of the quality of the parts used to build them..

10:10 Don't do that! Never beat on the motor shaft as it's likely to shift the rotor on the shaft or force a bearing from its mounting. Instead, clamp the motor in a padded vise and tap the edge of the bell end of the motor with a blunt chisel, then tap again 180 degrees away, and so on until the cover comes off.

In my experience conventional WD40 doesn't lubricate, it can release stuck / grungy parts when used in moderation but should always be cleaned off and then followed up with a proper light oil (something like sewing machine oil or light lithium grease for the turntable). Spray WD40 on a stuck rusty gate hinge and it will likely free up but will then squeak like hell until oiled.

The honest truth: Though there is clearly some valuable information here in terms of fixing this Dual, our not so humble host ("my pitch it's just about perfect. I dialed that in by ear;" 🙄) seems rather obsessed with the inappropriate use of WD-40 and the person who did it. And, y'know, the unsaid but clearly implied notion that he's oh so superior. All the bitching and complaining makes me cringe and just want to find a video that shows someone fixing such a unit without whining so much. Jesus, next we'll probably be subjected to your political opinions. Yes, we all know that trying to lubricate something with WD-40 is a rookie mistake (yawn, one of the first things you learn) so it's like dude is seizing the opportunity to go nuts by complaining about it over and over simply because it's obvious someone used it while previously servicing the unit. We don't care. Less crabby whining, more education. Yeesh.

Hi. Too busy lately. I still didn’t watch this video. I will tonight. Forgot to let you know about my JMJ LPs that i will have the pleasure to offer to you. I will not give my email here as i don't want it corrupted with religious spamners or other stupid things. I'm in messenger from facebook. Or let me know how you would like to exchange of address.

Use it to unstick a stuck platter in order to get the platter off and then clean that crap out and replace it with proper lubricant

Put that thing in the dishwasher
