I have a Dual 1229 in decent shape. It's not pretty enough to spend the money on a full restoration and I also would like to learn how to fix it myself. Where do I begin? Is there a site with tips or procedure?
Known issues with the machine:
Although it is working fine and speed holds dead stable...
A) The auto lift will come up at the end of a record and return to the middle of the record and set down again...cycling.
B) The anti-skate wheel seems really stiff, perhaps gummed up.
C) I am not sure the arm is working properly...a lot of skipping and mistracking is observed.
