Well this stupid thing needs parts. Not just a steuerpimple. Part of the single/multi assembly is broken. No luck on eBay or typical parts sources. I guess it’s gonna go on a shelf until I find parts or buy a parts table. I knew better than getting another Dual. Bleh.
Look for a Wega 3420 Model with a Dual 1229 friction wheel drive , they were one of the best tt´s built by Dual ever.

Well Vinyl Lovers ...we talked about so much tt related technical stuff but nobody mentioned the famouse american brand SHURE here. SHURE is still alive , the carts are still popular around the globe , you still can buy all spare parts all over the world as well as finest JICO SAS Needles from Japan . The range of SHURE Carts contains their studio carts Model SC93 ED, M91ED, M95ED,M95G, D105E especially for Dual tt´s , V15-III, V15 IV , V ST-V, M44-E, M44-7 and the legendary M75-6S later called M75 MG Type 2 .
Last mentioned M75-6S / M75 MG Type 2 ....my personal opinion as follows :
The shure system par excellence! With the original needles (round needles also Cleorec) one of the best budget systems ever built. It was not for nothing that all youth rooms and discos in the 60s and 70s were equipped with it. It wasn't exactly cheap to buy when it was still alive. Whoever mounts it today should make sure that it is a 15° system, like all Shure of this age. It therefore works great on all changers with 24° geometry. Then it plays with a lot of pressure and dynamics a very dry overtone bass with good resolution also in the high frequencies, and shows why it was the standard system in discotheques for years. It has this fascinating Shure “presence drive”, this fantastically good midrange resolution, combined with extremely good dynamics. With the ED version, there is not much missing to reach the absolute top league.
Equipped with a JICO SAS one of the best Moving Magnet Carts ever built. But even with the Super Track Neddle is it playing near by the SAS Version.
I own two ...M75MG Type 2 with Super Track
and an origin 15 degree NoS M75-6S

Well buddies ...I´am who I´am ...was time for a cart change on both arm today 😂, as every cart in my collection has it´s own shell it wasn´t that complicated . Using the Audio Technica AT 7V on the MA 505 as well as the Goldring 920 IGC on the SME 3009 .
Later I spun ..Earth Wind and Fire " Gratitude Double Live Album " recorded in LA, Chicago, St.Louis, Atlanta, Bosten, NY, Philladelpia and Washington DC in 1975
followed by Stan( ly ) Clarke Debut in 1972 " Children of Forever "
than a bit of Jazz on the famous german ECM Label with Pat Metheny " Watercolors " 1977
finally Cick Corea " Return to Forever " 1972 ECM Label

This LP " The Sicilian Defense " from APP ist quiet rare to get, it was recorded in 1979 , but never launched at that time by the label, in 2014 it was released from a russian label on cd and some vinyls , they aren´t available actually . The Sicilian Defense LP is availabable in the complete APP Box only , not sure but cost over 400 € in germany . It´s a very untypicall instrumental album from APP ..
