Hi, I just found one of these in the shed of the house I moved into. It works! But I can't get any sound. There are two wires, one for the wall plug and one I don't recognize. Does this have anything to do with sound? If so, what do I plug it into? If not, what should I do?

@ixnay36 Hello. THanks for watching my video. Most likely, your new found Dual Turntable will need servicing for it work correctly. Over the years, the parts need lubrication and in many instances replacement too. The reason you may not be hearing anything is that you need an amplifier with a 'phono' input.

Never seen this one in action. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see that you have the stacking spindles as so many times they are missing and so hard to come by. I have a Technics SL-1360 and Bic 980 that I'm fortunate enough to have the stacking spindles for. They are also fine tables that I've been very happy with.

@MrAAA3330 Thanks for commenting!! I have a Technics SL-1350 (which is the same as the 1360 but in black finish). I also have both stacking spindles for that one. And you are right, they are great turntables too!

What's the name of the track that starts at 8:49?

Those Dual turnstable are pretty cool! I hope to find one locally along w/ those Pioneer turntables from the 70s that looks very similar to it w/ the silver cobra-like head shell.

There is one of these from the antique store near me for $55.

I bought mine second hand in the mid 1970's adding a Shure V15 type IV cartridge. I remember that it hummed but not always. When the turntable started to return the arm before the records would finish playing, I took it to United Audio in Mount Vernon, NY where they fixed and adusted it. I remember it worked great after that. Actually my cartridge stopped working but the turntable continued on. I remember hearing the rumble when I started to play a record in the lead- grooves.

Fantastic machine

@Discotized A later model, 2-speed Dual turntable actually blew out my right speakers from the (2) pairs that were connected; that Dual went straight to a thrift store. I love Duals because nearly all the ones I have are 3-speed (i.e. I have lots of 78s with a 78 stylus on my 1009) with (2) 45 spindle changers for stacking/playing singles. However, hum is heard clearly on some models even during record play if grounding problem is serious. Dual turntables would be PERFECT if not for this issue.

@KojiRecords Thanks for your comment. I only own this Dual. It also has the hum you are describing; however, it is only audible when you turn the volume up very high.
