Description

If you saw this 1218 previously, I have relisted it because what I had originally was only the new turntable but no base or top.
This listing is now for the combination of: The factory, near-NOS, Dual 1218 replacement turntable and another entire Dual 1218 with base and top. They both came from the same estate.
Photos 1,7,8,9,10 are of the complete turntable.
The cover has a crack seen in a photo and can be repaired with "MC" methyl chloride which is a capillary-action glue/solvent that will leave the crack practically invisible ( product). Any questions - I can help as I have plastics experience.
The base has some scuffs. The complete turntable is NOT WORKING. The sylus is a Shure M 91 MG-D
Photos 2 through 6 are the near-NOS replacement Dual 1218. This Dual 1218 is the turntable only, no base, no top - that's how it was sold. It came in the box shown which is designed for only the turntable. It has styrofoam holding blocks that fit to the turntable (without base or top) and the box. It has four original plastic shipping stabilizers for the platter.
The ground spade shows turning lines where it has been attached to a grounding nut but otherwise the turntable chassis looks like one would expect it to look, if new, but 45 years old. No marks and no wear. The stylus is as shown in a photo.
I plugged it in and moved the tone arm across to the platter and the platter immediately powered up.
Serious Buyer: Let me know/what other testing you may want.
Please assume that even the NOS 1218 may needs something in the way of light restoration simply because it is so old.
Shipping by UPS is a bit expensive so local pick-up is ideal.
