- Came with Stanton 681 Cartridge Body with 6324 etched on the side at the factory it looks like (appears hand etched). Replacement Stylus is 68 with EEE under the 68
Products from the 60s and seventies are total quality. It is high end.
I own a 1229, 1218, 1216, 1215S, 1225, 1226, and 506. I love all of the tables. All were completely refurbished in the last 5-10 years ago. All still in great shape. 3 of the tables were originally purchased by my father and me.. They all sound great and track we'll.
Why is the 1218 not a high end turntable? What in the build, parts used, quality, makes it less so? Just curious because I recently bought a 1218 specifically for playing my 78s.
turk1eighty2 well hay well I have the same one but mine dose not stop spinning and I would recommend a older turntable for 78s or you k ow you have to have a bigger needle
its a "sleeper" or was.... bit rumbly but its top shelf
A liitle Freudian slip at the beginning. It is of course a 1218 vice 1228 as first stated....
I am going to put an atlc155 cartridge on mine.
The "Start-Stop" lever should be centered, not canted to the left. Fix is easy, loosen setscrew under chassis, beneath lever, center lever, tighten setscrew. The 1218 was considered a high quality turntable, nice tonearm & drive with great specs
Fixed and sold long ago thanks😉
How did you remove the turntable as I see no way of removing it. There is a clip on other models this doesn't seem to have one.
If you're asking about removing the platter, there's a small metal ring at the top of the center shaft above platter. Simply pry it off with a small screw driver (watch that it doesn't fly away).
Good me frend
actually idler drive is probably the best drive system for p.r.a.t check out the prices on td124's and grrard 401, 301
Here is my idler that I rebuilt (As good as the Garard and Thorens):

hey, its highend compaired to a crappy crosley.
well i don't if you will read this my opinion 10 inch platter or 12 inch platter I never heard any difference I had a 1225 which I gave to a friend of mine who wanted to start playing records it had a 10 inch platter never heard any difference I got a 1009sk the platter on this one is 11 inches and a 1237 TT this one has a full sized platter I hear no difference the 1009 has a 4lb platter boy its heavy but I love duals the quality is fantastic ,I read that some consider the 1218 not as good as the 1219 or 1225 was not as good and 1237 not rated high I don't understand why such critique I do not have a 1218 yet working on it thats why I watched you vid the ones I do have sound fantastic to me they all came with original stylus shure 91 hi-track maybe its the cart all I know the 1237 came in with the shure and stylus was new it was never used they are quiet and work flawlessly i have no problems ,I always liked thorens but I never could find one for a low price they always are sold for a lot of money but this was very good JRo
Have you ever heard of punctuation? I gave up trying to read and understand what you were trying to say after a few lines in. Sorry, but not using proper punctuation is just plain lazy lMHO..🤔😵💫
That baby puts my modern Audio Technica AT-LP120xBT-USB to shame, how have you got this wired up to the amp? Is it phono or 5 pin din? Also do you have to change the whole cartridge for playing 78s? Reason I ask is I have my eye on one on Ebay
Old video - Sold this a long time ago. A toy in comparison to this one I rebuilt:
