I can't say I did the best job, but they weren't in the best condition either. I just wanted to learn a little more about these classic decks. You seem to be in a different position. But if you are willing to give it a try, go for it. Just remember the first lesson my dad taught me with anything mechanical: don't force it. If you can't get the machine to unlock after a thorough cleaning and relubing, send it to a professional. First thing is you need to do is lift up the spindle and remove the c-clip the holds the platter in place. This is actually a pain. Take some tape and cover the shiny metal ring in order to protect it. Take a small flat head and pry it out once you line it up with the groove. Be very careful as this clip can go flying once you get it off. Remove the platter and put it aside. Next, remove the turntable from the base. Your newly downloaded manual will tell you how to do this. Once removed, turn it upside down on a pillow or some such contraption to protect the tone arm and idler wheel so you can work on the underside. Use a toothpick or a sturdy dental pick if you have to get in some tight areas. Once you are done, and I mean, after a couple of hours, write back and we can guide you through the rest of the lubing process and the adjustment of the pulley if the speed is not dead on.

The problems with it are specified in the original post. I could post some photos, if that would help, but I think the whole mechanism just needs re-lubing.Still, the first thing to do is make sure the plastic eccentric gear is in time by locking the tonearm on its rest and cycling the mechanism to get everything in time.Still, the first thing to do is make sure the plastic eccentric gear is in time by locking the tonearm on its rest and cycling the mechanism to get everything in time.

The big lever under the TT connected to the start lever can bind on the stepped support posts if the alignment is off. It is also locked out when the cam (the big plastic gear is out of its neutral position (the most likely cause)).

Perhaps when used solely as a cleaner and then removed completely, it has a place, but it cannot be used as a lubricant (just to be clear).It is a penetrating solution designed to free up seized parts. You can also use liquid wrench for this purpose. Do not use either on electrical switches or potentiometers. Get the appropriate de-oxit product for this purpose. Try to not get these products on anything but the parts you are trying to clean. I remove everything I can from a turntable, then build dams out of paper towels, rags, etc to keep the cleaners under control. Take pictures and notes (video can be helpful) as you disassemble!!A slight hangup - I can't find Silicone Oil, 500,000 weight anywhere. I've checked at Hobby Lobby, Amazon.com, and a local store called Treasure Chest Hobbies, and nobody has it. Nobody at TCH has even heard of it (she said they have been in business for 30 years, so.). Amazon only has it as a Japanese import that I'm not about to go for. It's only required for one location, part of the tonearm mechanism. Does anybody over here know where I can get some, or what I could use as a substitute. If not, I'll ask those folks over at the Vinyl Engine forums.If so, you are OK on the silicone oil for now. As that's what it is used for. Clean where the lubrication points are in the manual, lubricate with correct lubricants or good substitutes, and see how you get on. Someone brought me a Dual 1218 today which needed attention. I got it running fine. Idler was OK. Followed the lubrication chart, cleaned and lubricated, and replaced the Stuerpimple (friction clutch). The 1218 is running well. And was an afternoon job.

To start viewing messages,I have been able to get it to a stage where I can play records but the mechanism is so stiff it will not complete the shut down sequence. Given that some of the pivot points are in difficult positions what do I need to: (a) dissolve the congealed lubricants, and (b) lubricate them.Try some Isopropyl (Industrial) Alcohol applied with a stiff brush (a paint brush cut down so that its bristles are no longer flexible but stiff to the touch is usually ideal). The process could take some time due to the age of the congealed lubricant. We always used a drop of oil from a can of Shell Handy Oil (now called Shell Household Oil - I think) applied from the end of a small screwdriver. (Squeezing a drop of oil onto a small screwdriver blade and then applying it to the parts requiring lubrication ensures that you do not over-lubricate as this results in oil spraying or dribbling onto drive surfaces). Isopropyl alcohol is also safe to use on rubber drive (intermediate) wheels and drive belts that require cleaning, although any such rubber parts would (probably) be un-serviceable after 50 years, due to hardening (perishing) of the rubber.I still have one of those turntables in my office. Hasn't seen a record in many years, though. It was purchase new by my mother back in the 1970sIt was the best turntable I could afford at the time. Tristen, thanks for the isopropyl alcohol tip. I have some in the shed.Oil and other lubricants combine with dust and eventually thicken. All lubricants coagulate over time. I have had to completely strip down some mechanisms in order to remove various lubricants applied by over-zealous owners or technicians who didn't know better.Long tem this will cause the rubber to harden out. On old, already hardened rubber Isoprop will make things worse. I would advise if it is a 50 year old treasure not to use Isoprop on the rubber. If you manage to loosen the mechnical arms and it still won't shut down then the rubber roller will need rejuvinating if you can't find a replacement. Totally gone hard and shiny rollers can't be saved though, but if it is playing the records resonably well then there shouldn't be a problem. Back in the 1970's belt drive was more popular, none of us kids would want to be 'caught' using a roller type Dual from their dad All in all quite pleased. Please mail me.

I am now looking into a cartridge, years ago I had an audio technica cartridge with a new 1218 that I bought upon discharge from the Navy, I loved the dual and the cartridge. Today I would like an AT again but know little about the different models. I am convinced that the AT440 ML is a good one but I am not sure it isnt too good for my old dual (and records that arent that great of condition, but might be in the future). Also: while my dual service manual gives a lot of good info and pictures, it doesnt go in to alignment procedures, except for a few specific problems. I imagine that a complete start to finish (step by step) alignment procedure is too much to hope for, but does any one know where I might find more basic adjustments then those listed. I am sure that the various shops around the country that specialize in Turntable repair are not real quick to share procedures they have had to figure out for themselves, but as an electrical mechanical technician myself I have learned over the years that sometimes the best way to get a good working alignment procedure (that isnt in the service manual) is to ask the guys besides myself that are working on the gear.When I put other DVD disc in I get picture and sound.

Good luck JohnAs suggested, I've run full cycle manually and that's how I see the lever not fully releasing to turn off the motor and disengage the idler assembly.

Very frustrating.Very frustrating. Click to expand. That's almost always necessary. Several things can cause the problem you're describing, but by far the most common is that the lube has dried out on the metal post that the shut-off lever pivots on and the lever binds as a result. Applying cleaner to the outside of the post and the inside of the lever bushing once it has been removed and then a little light oil on reassembly with often fix this problem.I removed the nut but could only move the post a small amount. It does not feel like it should come out. What am I missing here. I can't get down to the pivot bushing.You can pull the two pieces that rotate on it straight up to remove them, after removing the C-clips that hold them down. Did you open the electrical assembly where the switch is. Sometimes it gets gummed up in there.
