Cool! Those old Shure carts are great matches for Duals.
need to search for the second 1228 cart and stylus. Have AT95 setup from an Onkyo headshell I have laying around. I can throw on here or that pioneer get up too. but it needs to be operational first.

I am moving my turntable from my carpeted living room to a room with hardwood flooring. I want to put something underneath the stand the turntable sits on to reduce vibration being transferred to it when walking near it. I was thinking about a small area rug or an anti fatigue pad. Any suggestions?
If you can go with a wall mounted stand, definitely do it. Otherwise, try an Auralex turntable pad. I had the same problem as yourself. I have my setup on a hardwood floor and when I walked close to the turntable I could hear my footsteps resonating from the speakers. The Auralex stopped that. It was a relatively cheap solution as some isolation pads can cost a ton of money.

1229Q.....
$50.
been sitting since I bought it. tracking force dial spring is sprung.
Finally asked on vinyl engine and it was such an obvious work around. Adjust TF with counterweight.....
sounds pretty good through an OG Shure M75D and a Shure NB71 stylus.

You probably already know this but I'm a huge fan of those old Dual idler drive turntables. They are magical when paired with a Marantz and a good set of speakers.

just received a 1216. wood base and intact cover. stupid cheap. needs repair. one owner. stored. since early 80's
Nice find!
$42 plus shipping.
That's awesome! There is a guy local to me selling a 1218 (I think) that has a rough looking UA base for $400.
Good deals on these gems seem to be drying up around here.

buddy was gifted some equipment last year. To include a kenwood receiver from the 80's and a Technics SL -1500. I had the TT cleaned and relubed. New Empire stylus(existing Empire cart). Thing is dead quiet. Such a solid performer.
One thing I noticed though. I am very spoiled by using Dual tables and their FULL AUTO feature!!!!

I'll tell you man, there is something special about those Dual idler drive turntables. They are so interesting to operate and there is an authoritative quality to the sound that I have never been able to get from a belt or direct drive tt.
Right now I have a nice Pioneer tt and it sounds really nice, but compared to my Dual, it just sounds like something is missing.

so I want to run the Technics 1500 and Dual 1228 through the 2275. being single phono amp I will need a reliable external switch. recommendations?
Also believe am going reasearch and search for a solid dd dual... you know, to round out my collection.

Cool idea! Just be aware that the output from each of those turntables is quite low so adding a passive switch and additional cabling is going to load the cartridges and probably give you weaker overall sound quality.
If I were going to attempt that, I would look for a standalone phono pre that can accommodate two sets of inputs and allow switching between them. That way, you would be sending an amplified signal to the 2275. You would just use the Tape or AUX jacks instead of the Phono.
Alternatively, you could use one turntable into the 2275's phono jacks and the other one into a separate, single channel phono pre fed into either the Tape or Aux jacks.
Also, I've been looking for a good deal on a Dual 721 for a LONG time. They are really excellent direct drives! Hopefully you have better luck finding one than I have had. If you come across one, I'd love to hear your impressions.

Around here?: less than $500 for one that is in good shape with an intact dust cover.
They don't pop up often but when they do, they are pretty rough and still priced crazy high.

I have a 1209 sitting in my basement that needs restoration. Maybe I should get off my ass and do something about that. Haha
1219 looks way simplier than the 1228 or 1229Q to me. Think that will be my diy entry into working on these.
