Thank you everyone for the insight you've
provided concerning lubrication of the
Dual 1226. To answer a couple of questions:
The unit was given to me by a coworker of
18 years. He is a fanatic when it comes
to care of his possessions so, as I said,
the turntable looks pristine. He supplied
me with all the original documentation
and packing pieces. I'll even have the
original box once he fishes it out of his
attic. The turntable does work.
I played part of an LP on it. The arm
return is a bit recalcitrant and I could
hear some rumble (more of a ringing really)
between cuts. I think it's well worth
restoring properly. I have the service manual
with the lubrication points. So I'll do a
little more investigation and weigh the
options.
