I sold Dual turntables in the early 70’s. I believe they were made by United Audio in the Black Forest of Germany. We did have a functioning display model that you could see the inside mechanism. I remember selling it when we discontinued the line. I have no idea on cost or if it is even the same model you have. It’s too long ago. I didn’t particularly like them, the plinths were noisy as hell.
Clearly an oddball turntable. Dual 1229 question.
I picked up a dual 1229 turntable today which in itself isn't too odd but the case is. The turntable is set in a smoke grey acrylic, lucite or plexiglass case. Both the top and bottom are see thru. Basically I'd like to know if Dual sold them like this or maybe this was a special display model. It doesn't look aftermarket to me. It looks like the turntable came this way from Dual. Thanks
