If you’re looking for FINE Vintage Audio you’ve come to the right place. All of our Turntables and Audio Equipment are SERVICED and RESTORED to be as close to new in appearance and functionality as possible. For offer is this DUAL 1237 Belt-Driven Fully Automatic Turntable. This Dual 1237 is a RARE COMPLETE unit with all of its original parts including the Stacker Spindle, Dual 45 Adapter, and Spare Spindle. It is completely operational and functional and looks OUTSTANDING! The following is the work that was performed. The unit has been thoroughly cleaned and all functions checked for proper operation. All caps and electronics were checked for wear and decay and the MAIN CAPACITOR was REPLACED. The Drive Mechanism was checked, cleaned, and lubricated for proper operation and works as it should. The tonearm mechanism was checked, cleaned, and lubricated for proper operation. The Motor Spindle was lubricated to insure proper performance. The motor was disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, reassembled and installed. The cover has been RESTORED to remove hairline scratches, scuffs, and any deep scratches. Those remaining, while faint, are visible only in reflected light (See Pics: #2, #3). This unit has a New Custom-Made Ground Cable (better than the original), and has had the previous RCA Cables replaced with upgraded soldered RCA Connectors to improve its sonics. It sounds better than before than before and makes connecting to your existing equipment easy. This turntable comes equipped with a NEW Old Stock (NOS) ADC QLM MKIII Cartridge and Stylus. It tracks true, provides great sonics, and should sound great when joined with any existing system See Pic. The Speed mechanics were cleaned, calibrated, and lubricated. Speed subsequently checked and cross-referenced for accuracy using a Robins ESK-5 Strobe Disc and Light Kit for 33 RPM and 45 RPM accuracy. As this Dual turntable, the speed maintenance of this unit is ROCK SOLID. The Turntable Plinth is intact and shows minimal wear for its age and looks FANTASTIC (See Pics #1-#9). The Original 45 adapter, Stackable Multi-Play Spindle, and Auxiliary Spindles are included (See Pics: #17, #18). It is RARE to find a Dual Turntable from this era COMPLETE with its ORIGINAL parts. In all, as demonstrated by the pictures, this is a BEAUTIFUL Dual 1237 Fully Automatic Turntable. It looks GREAT and Sounds as GOOD as it LOOKS. Everything functions correctly: The tonearm Cue lever raises and lowers as it should. When the START Lever is Pushed to the Left, the Table starts and spins. The Tonearm raises and moves over the edge of the record and then slowly lowers to play. The tonearm moves smoothly and tracks well. Again, everything works as it should. It’s very clean, serviced, reliable, looks Amazing and it sounds FANTASTIC! This is a used, vintage turntable. Look closely at the photos. What you see is what you get. NO WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. Message me and I will be happy to answer them. CHECK MY OTHER LISTINGS.

You are looking at a rare Kenner Swingster record player with box and instructions. Box, unit, and instructions are all in very good condition. Battery compartment is very clean. The record player itself is working but the sound is not great. It runs on 4 D batteries (not included). I had to use a small piece of tinfoil to complete the battery connection, otherwise the connection was a bit loose. It seems to run well, but again the sound quality is poor. Similar sound to videos found on YouTube. This is a cosmetically wonderful combination to add your vintage radio/record player collection. Please see detailed photos.

I think that because of our very low humidity there was no rust and minimal pitting. The crank handle is all nickel plate – no plastic handle. The strap is leather and not vinyl/plastic. The three arms that hold the record have a textured surface to help hold the record in place and not rubber dots. All of the pieces appear to be original and included. The screw down record holder button is still there. The record player plays. (I opened the case to clean and lubricate). Now it spins more freely. The nickel plating is almost perfect. The “tone arm” had some minor pitting which was easily removed this a little steel wool and polish. The outside of the “Reproducer” is very handsome and art-deco styled. The “Stylus Bar” is broken off, but it was inside the reproducer head. I open the head to remove the stylus bar and found that the foil sound wafer is damaged. While I was able to make “Music”, I’m sure that it would be much better if it is repaired. I added a new needle. The “horn” has several chips in the brown applied finish. Mainly by the holes that align with the stem that holds the horn in place while stored. (I think that it is brass under the finish). The case is also in very nice condition. The makers mark on the front is terrific. The hinges work and are not twisted or bent. The push button lock works. Beyond the front plate, I couldn’t find any markings.

Up for your consideration is this RARE & very cool looking fairly clean Ristaucrat model 2020? Dial-O-Matic countertop record player / jukebox made in Appleton, WI in the early 1950’s. These attractive, pint-sized units were marketed for the home and did not require a coin for operation. This unit is complete but not working. The cosmetic condition is nice & the grain in the wood is outstanding & fabulous looking to say the least but it is not perfect by any means as there are some light scratches & some finish loss on the top. The record player appears to be in fairly good condition & when turning the record platter by hand it “appears” to be in working condition. All the controls are in good looking cosmetic condition & again “appear” to be in working condition. I removed the back panel to view the chassis & what not. It appears that the chassis is in nice cosmetic condition but the electric cord is missing. The “APPROXIMATE” size of this unit is 13″ Long, 13″ Wide/Seep & 10 High. I package very well for a safe arrival. If you have any questions please ask & I will promptly answer & as best as I can. Please ask questions before the end of the sale & not after.
