Recently, we got an old Dual 1249 for restoration and partly repair service.

The owner wanted to put the turntable into working condition, after more than 30 years leaving it to lay forgotten at the attic.

Main problem was literally "disintegrated" belt, leaving layer of hardened dirt, rubber, etc., on the outer rim of the sub platter and pulley.
Further, automatic start/stop and cueing were not in function, due to some parts missing.

Outer rim of the sub platter and pulley have been sanded and polished, along with thorough cleaning of other parts in contact with belt.

Turntable is now fully manual, automatic start/stop and cueing have been disengaged.
