Today I received the replacement.

It fits nicely in the Shure V15 III cartridge, and I was surprised by the good sound quality despite the negative review by some of you (maybe I was just lucky with this one )

I played a record that has good quality and dynamics, "Communiqué" from Dire Straits and it sure gave my Hepta speakers something to chew on! Very solid bass, and crisp high, also mid-level very present. Tone control on the AU-777 amp can be defeated.

Anyway, here are some pictures of my new Dual baby. It will replace my Thorens TD110 for sure, as the Dual outclasses the Thorens in all aspects.

Indeed not very good news

However, it did not cost me a fortune and I'm still optimistic.
Will let you know my experiences shortly ...

Hello all,

Received the replacement strobo this week from Dualfred (a big thanks to him! )
It is working fine, the strobo now has a nice orange lighting.

Still awaiting a replacement needle for the Shure V15 III cartridge, and once received the 721 is ready to roll ...

I ordered the needle from Ebay see http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAP…TRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_922

It should be very close to the original Shure replacement needle according to http://www.edsaunders.com/shurereviewebay.htm.

Does anyone of you experiences with this needle already?

Thanks.

Hallo,

orange? Ja, klar ... Oranje boven.....

Peter

Got me!
However not exactly the reason, have been told the orange version resembles the original strobo lighting most ...

Hi Kipfel,

Thanks!

The dust cover (Staubhaube) of the 721 is beyond repair, cracked over the full depth on top ...
Will dustcovers from other models fit on the 721?
If so, what models to look for?
Thanks!

All,

Already got an answer on my PN to Dualfred!
Einfach Spitzenklasse! (hope this is proper german)

Ordered two orange one's (so I have a spare, just in case ...)

Will post an update once I installed the replacement.

Really appreciate all your help, and with such a tremendous speed!

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,

Hi All,

Thanks for your answers so far!
Sorry for not writing in german, but I can read it very well! So no need to answer me in english, if you prefer german.
What is the best way to contact "dualfred", senfd him a personal message?

Hi all,

I decided to join this forum, as I have been given a 721 recently by a friend of mine.

He discovered it when tidying up his attic, and asked me if I could do something with it, as one of my hobbies is collecting and restoring vintage audio-equipment (with a special interest for Sansui of the early seventies, hence my user name!).

I now understand that the 721 is quite turntable!
Would like to restore it in full working order, however ...

... the strobocope lamp does not seem to work. I already tried cleaning it, but no luck

I have to admit that I've never seen a lamp like this before, do you know where to order a replacement?

Thanks in advance!
