See the separate unpacking instructions.
Install the platter by lowering it carefully
and slowly onto the shaft. An oll-soaked
felt washer will be pushed out as you
lower the turntable platter, thus oiling the
shaft, It can then be discarded
If your 1219 does not have a cartridge
installed, you will find installation instruc-
tions on page 11.
With the tonearm locked in place, install
the counterbalance at the rear of the
tonearm. You will find further instructions
for balancing the tonearm and setting
stylus force on pages 11 and 12 of these
Instructions. For the correct stylus force,
which depends on the make and model of
cartridge, follow the instructions provided
with the cartridge.
Installation on baso
‘Tho 1219 has threo mounting screws, each
with three positions, that allow you to in-
stall and remove your Dual from the top.
Hold the chassis above the base so that

the
spring-
mounted footings located on the left and
Tight front side of the turntable into the
cut-outs of the base,
‘Thon turn the screws clockwise until they
are seated in the top of the chassis. The
chassis is now spring-mounted
‘To secure the 1219 for transport, unscrew
the mounting screws, pull them up, then
continue to turn them counterclockwise
until they hold the chassis tight against
the
base.
