Is this a decent TT?

I found this in Tucson. Don't know if it is sold or not. If this is decent I'll pick it up and figure out somethign to do with it. :)

The 1200 series was where it was at Wes. Dual 1219, and especially the 1229Q. I am not too sure about a 10xx series. Let me see if I can look it up. Be right back. Okay, 1999 Orion Blue Book lists it as being manufactured between 1968 and 1971, MSRP of $140. If it was mint in 1999, Orion suggested paying $30 for it. Average shape gets $16. I'd pass on that pup.

The 1229 and 1229Q were 1972-1974 manufacture, MSRP of $250 and $260 respectively.

Thanks, George. I know Dual has been mentioned quite a bit for as one to look for in a vintage TT. The guy also had a 12xx in another add with this one. The 12xx is gone, it appears.

I thought for $60, it might be in the neighborhood.

Pass. I just tossed a 1009 and generally pass on the hollow, spring loaded antiques. I have found nothing special in that series as alluded to by George.

I picked up a 1228 awhile back at Thrift for like 8 dollars. Good solid table for 8 dollars. Currently using a CS 5000 I got a good deal on. I agree with GG that for the money and quality, a 12XX would be a good starter, if it comes with a good cartridge and needle.

You just need a 600 buck Nitty Gritty to clean em. :eek:
