How To Adjust Tracking Force Of A Dual 1211 Turntable

Simple steps:
1. "To get the 180 Degrees" align tonearm to the platter in parallel.
Tonearm must swing freely up & down and it will settle back to 180 degrees parallel to the platter.
2. Set the tracking force knob to your own preference.
MM/MC cartridges: 1g to 3g While Ceramic cartridges is at 4g to 6.5g

    Thanks for the video. Do you know if this turntable can also be used with modern vinyl records? I have one that I just fixed but only old vinyls sound good. The modern ones have a bad sound and skip. Some people told me that the cartridge, headshell and tone arm are too bad for modern vinyls and so I have to buy a new turntable. In your opinion it's true or this is just a regulation problem?

    Yes this can be used in a new vinyl records. Actually DUAL is superb than the new turntable. About skipping check your tracking force maybe your tracking force is too light set it to 1.5 to 3g that's the range for MM and MC cartridge. Before and after playing records each sides always clean the needle.

    @@Woodys_Hobbies thanks for the advice, but I don't have an MM or MC cartridge, I have the piezoelectric one. Maybe is this the problem?

    @@andrealacorte4935 Maybe if your Piezo is old it might be corroded inside it can cause loss contact. But anyway if your sound is fine then try to replace a new needle for that and ceramic or piezo cartridge it has a tracking force around 5 to 6grams try to adjust at that weight and don't worry about damaging your record it's really true I'm using a piezo and ceramic that's is its specs if you go below that weight the sound is distorted or records skips.
