- This is an instructional video to explain how to replace the tonearm wires on a Dual 1019 changer turntable. Background music is "Money" by Pink Floyd which I played on the Dual and recorded with Audacity.

A small hint: Those screws on the top are designd to be turned with a coin. A coin makes less damage to the screw than a srewdriver does.
Nice video! Keep on doing this. I've got the 1226
Thanks for making this video. I like that you didn't load it up with a lot of "ummmm" and "uhhhh". Classy AND informative with great camera angles; Highly viewable with useful content.
I also like that you took something that was meaningful to your father and are taking exemplary care of it for your own enjoyment.
Note of warning removing the platter. They were held down be a clip from factory that prevents them lifting straight off. True, several have lost their clips with service over time, but a lot will still have them. When you remove the spindle, you need to carefully remove this clip also, taking care not to damage the decorative aluminium which is pretty well unobtainium on its own. You should be very careful with the table upside down not to put any pressure on the tone arm. Best to support it so this is not resting on the bench. A third note, The Dual system works as an unbalanced system. The chasis ground is also the cartridge ground. You should uses single core shielded cable for the tone arm wire replacements rather than twisted pairs. Aside from the above, this is a pretty good tutorial.
I reality, the headshell contacts are easy to clean/repair and aftermarket.third party sleds are easy to find. You should only really replace the tone arm cables if they are faulty, everything else can be worked around. Hardwiring the headshell sled makes it really painful to change the cartidge, especailly if you are using 78 RPM's (which need a different needle) and LP's/45's on the same deck.
After dealing with intermittent channel drop on a 1225, this is what I learned. Get a multimeter and check continuity of each wire, from cartridge sled to rca jack out underneath the TT. In my case it was a break in one of the left channel wires at the back of the headshell. Save yourself a lot of head scratching that way.
Great video. Great turntable too. I own two, one for 78. I use a Denon DL103R in the other. I would caution against soldering directly at the cartrige pins like you did with the ADC. This might cause the internal solder junction to melt and disconnect.
Hi Ryan, was wondering if you could tell me where you got the mounting brackets for the muti-play stacker spindle? I cant seem to find an official Dual Part for it. If its not official, and maybe even something home made, can you tell me what you have purchased to make? Thanks!
muchas gracias !
Love the Floyd, not gonna give you a load of grief but I'd lower the volume just a tad. Overall, good show...
Thanks for this video. Just discovering it. Do you think a custom head-shell or compleet tonearm might be possible. Like my 1019 but don't like the looks of the bulky head-shell
I know the music is really annoying. I made the video in iMovie because I didn't have enough time to learn how to use anything else. I wanted the music to be a constant volume but instead iMovie decreases the music volume each time I speak. I hope I'll have time to remove the music. I do appreciate the criticism and I'm glad you've found this video useful, albeit annoying!
Got to remove the retaining ring before the platter is removed.
Also if you want to improve audio performance bypass the switch that the tonearm wires go to before going to the RCA post. This way you will remove additional solder points and materials that the audio has to travel through that hampers sound performance.
Can you suggest some care and feeding for a 1019? I bought one about 10 years ago and it's working fine, but would love to do any maintenance myself if possible. Thank you!
No audio on video, Do you have a link for the the materials used & instructions?
How to connect the mass to the arm with the removal of the contact? There are 5 contacts, 1 L, 1 R, 1LG, 1RG and 1 G for the tonearm, how to replace this?
Any problems with cartridge setup on the 1019 ...did you have to shim the cart or have problems with adjusting VTA with the M97?.
Thanks for this detailed rewiring demo for this turntable, Ryan. I have the same turntable that my parents bought in Germany in the early '60s when my Dad was also in the service, and I will be doing the same repairs to soon, so this level of detail is really helpful. Good to know about the Shure M97XE cartridge too. One comment- I love PF but the music is a bit overbearing, can you use a different song? Thank you!!!
So, what if you wanted to bypass those head-shell contacts entirely? I just bought a dual 1219 that someone had already modified to do so, and it all seems like a fairly logical thing to do. Basically the tonearm wires just connect directly to the cartridge, and the little "Dual sled" contacts are bypassed entirely. Would there be any problems with this method? Any precautions?
Just curious!
+TheUnityLane bypassing the contacts on the cartridge head is exactly what I did. If you go to 5:17 you will see that I remove the old cartridge from the cartridge sled. The cartridge sled contacts lost their spring tension over the years and produced a weak, unreliable electrical connection. Jump to 5:59 in the video and you will see that the tonearm wires are directly connected to the new cartridge. The end result produces reliable playback even four years later. I'm very happy I did this work on my 1019. I hope my explanation is clear!
i have this same turntabe, but itsd makeing a small rattle noise, and sometimes cant grip the platter proberly.
Where did you find the plastic base with pins?
Informative video, but really annoying to turn the music volume up and down!
this tt will out perform an 800 doller technics or what ever tt make.
straight through wireing is the best.
I'm sorry to discover that the audio has been removed. I imagine this was at the request of Pink Floyd or their record label. I will attempt to find the audio and video source and redo the audio without any background music.
Finally, someone asked about the tonearm wire replacement kit I used. Here is the link. It's not cheap, but I'm very happy with the quality.

I can still hear the sound. Maybe they muted it in your country or they restored it.
Nice vid. How much did that Shure cartridge cost you ??? Thx
i like the Pink Floyd ha,
i also have the same Dual 1019 and i cannot remove the platter as easily as you have removed yours in your video "lift and rotate the platter" not easy at all, do you have any suggestions, thanks
+brian dormio Gently lift it straight up. If it hangs try to tilt the platter one way or another until it moves a little further. Eventually it should come up all the way. I hope that helps!
+Ryan Cresawn What else can be done as there is no gently that will be involved and i do want want to destroy this turntable
+brian dormio If you are able to remove the plinth from the wood base you may be able to flip it over and see if there is any way you can separate the platter from the spindle with it upside down. I wish I could offer you better advice, but my turntable does not have the problem yours does. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
brian dormio i know this is 9 months old but theres a c clip when you take the spindle off. gotta pry the c clip off, then lift the platter. hope you've learned that already.
How long run of wire did you use or did I not hear it? thanks
+amcrebelfan The wires I bought are 24 inches long. Here's where I bought them. www.dedicatedaudio.com/collections/phono-cables/products/cardas-4-strand-braided-33awg-tonearm-cable-with-soldered-clips
Ryan Cresawn now that's a fast response! Thank you very much
+amcrebelfan no trouble at all. Are you repairing a 1019?
Yes I am I found a near mint model at Salvation Army in a console I bought it and donated the console back as it was solid state not tube. It's only issue was it wouldn't turn off. While fixing that somehow tonearm wires got pulled into mechanism and ripped them apart. So shutoff is fixed now need new wires. I think it's a good thing as the head shell needs replacing so doing what you did will eliminate that need and sound better anyway. So glad I found your video.
Aren't the "mounting screws" "transit screws"?
It would take about 85 YEARS to hear each Album once.
1000000 LP's x 45min. = 45million Minutes = 85 Years
What is the wire??
I love the Money tune, but it was a distraction while trying to hear the host.
You may have killed the ADC cartridge by soldering the leads directly to it.
Edit your video and take out the pink floyd music . I can hear you talk on how you wired the left and right channel . what wires went where and so forth .
ENOUGH pink Floyd
great Pink Floyd video......too bad i couldn't hear anything else.
Great song Money by Pink Floyd but that made it very hard to hear you.!!!
Hello Ryan , forgive , however , the music is louder than your voice . words are at times indistingishable,
Yes the background music is far too loud man, the fluctuations in volume don't help either
There is a lock washer not shown in this video that holds down the platter. Shame on you for not showing it...
Why add ANY music in an instructional video? I can hardly hear your voice, and the music is very distracting
dump the music!
an ohmeter will find the problem
That music coming on so loud ruins this video.
This was a poor video because u never show how to thread tone wires through tonearm
KILL THE MUSIC
Kill the annoying music.
Why would you have Pink Floyd playing during your demonstration? Totally destroyed the purpose of your video.
what a annoying music
Aw Man. Had to shut off this video. Awful music....
