    Description

    I have been working on turntables for almost 10 years and specialize in early DUAL tables
    I have done the motor upgrade from the faulty 840 to 860 motor to eliminate the double speed on startup issue that the 840 motor has in the US.
    I installed a new steuerpimpel
    Did a full clean and lube of all moving parts
    Pitch control light and pitch control work great. Pitch is nice and steady.
    Belt is used and works well and switches speed nicely from 33 to 45 and back
    I also replaced the single/multi play rubber bushing so you can easily switch between the two if you have a multiplay spindle.
    It is tested and working in multiplay mode as well with the proper spindle.
    Auto Start and Stop (end of record) tested and working
    The plinth is a WOOD plinth and not the later plastic one. It is in great shape. No chips or cracks.
    The dust cover has minor scratches but no cracks or chips.
    Anti skating works and has been properly set for 1.5 grams stylus weight.
    I installed a period correct Shure M91ED with used stylus
    This is a unique turntable that combines the belt drive mechanism with the multiplay options found on the 1219/1229 idler wheel models.
    This will be properly packaged and shipped with insurance via UPS.
    I prefer local pickup as it is very heavy and expensive to ship.
    IF you are looking for a 1249 in worry free condition - THIS IS THE ONE
    If the motor has not been addressed and properly replaced or modified I would stay away from the 1249 model.
