This video does not have a particularly happy ending as it is not working 100%. But, it will give you an idea how to service one of these complicated units.
Bought mine in '85. installed a Sumiko Blue Point Special EVO lll. Sounds great and has given me zero problems. Of course running with Conrad Johnson PV5 tube pre also helps the sound immensely.
I have owned 5 of these and they are awesome they sound great easy to repair if you have the ability . Some people are just not smart enough to how they work. The tone arm is a bit finicky.
this repair was really great, congratulations ! fortunatly my CS5000 did not make so many troubles until now. It works good with an ortofon OM 40 , for MC systems th arm is not good enough. sorry foe my english, best regaeds from vna, karl
I had one too. Loved the sleek design with walnut veneer but it was a pain in the ass to handle. The older Duals CS 721 (fully automatic direct drive) and CS 704 (semi-automatic direct drive) from my dad still run today without any issues. A little greese and replacing some wear parts once every couple of decades and I guess they´ll live another 45 years (if someone will still listen to records then).
I have similar Dual Golden One CS7000 and there should be a short pin (25mm or so) under the lift assembly. Or if you didn’t remember to put the lever under of it to the right position, the lifting mechanism doesn’t work. You can adjust the distance between the stylus and vinyl by screwing the small screw. I have problems with my tonearm bearing system as somebody has dropped something to it and some kind of part of the bearing is missing.
Thanks for this video. I just bought one of this TT coupled with an Auditechnica at-vm95e cartidge - balck stylus - already adjusted. I can't figure out how to set properly the antiksating, seems to not work. I set again the traking force and I cheked precisely the weight with a precision balance. Then I set the traking force with that kind of a screw accorind to the traking force, but when I test the TT with a CD (I don't have a plain vinyl) the arm don't ramain in place and goes at center stopping the motor. Can you test this? What can I do? Thanks for the answer.
DUAL tables - I restore them constantly. The biggest weakness that they all have in common is the cue design. It does not matter what style. 701, 1229, 502, 604....the cue is always terrible and even worse if some pleb has messed with it.
From what I've read, the location of the electronics can be problematic as it's possible for them to cause interference in the cartridge. No personal experience though.

You can cue the arm up/down by pressing the current speed button.
Yes - found that out quite a bit later.

I just purchased the CS5000 and love it, but it did not come with a cover or hinges. Any idea on where I can get the dust cover and hinges?

Thank-you, the pin is indeed there. The arm lift really isn't necessary as pressing either speed button will lift and drop the tonearm.
Looks great! But what a pain!
Yep. A Dual 505-2 looks similar and is much more reliable.

Just set the antiskate at the same number as the tracking force and don't worry about it.
Kudos to the donator
I've had one for years and it's fantastic. Dead sounding?
Hello, I have Dual CS5000 and it’s not turning on. I am from NYC area. Does anyone know in this area to repair it ?
Very interesting video! I’d like know how I can contact you regarding a terrible hum I’ve been experiencing with my CS5000!
Most likely the caps are old and need replacing

Agreed.
If this turntable could talk - it's had a very strange life with these particular faults.. interesting..
Hit the Like!

I don't hear any hum as the tonearm travels across the record, plus the platter is shielded, so I don't think that is an issue.
Those take to long to needle drop. Wish easy way to make it manual.
Disconnect the plug for the solenoid.
@@TurntableGuy você pode fazer um vídeo explicando?
Sellers who price gauge on tt parts should be flogged. They’re basically screwing over their own people who are trying to save vintage units.
You do not repair enithing in this video
What? Replacing the entire motor is a repair.
Technics is sheet. Plastic. You are not so calified for this
Piss off man. Go shit on someone else's channel, troll. Learn how to spell, as well.
The most overrated tt ever, I had it, the golden version, and it was a nightmare, sold it for huge money at the end
I'd say just about any Rega is the most overrated turntable ever. The 5000 is definitely a love-hate kind of unit.
