  • Dual 1219 - Seriennummern und Modell-Unterschiede

    Code
    Hallo an alle

Bitte entschuldigen Sie etwaige Schreibfehler, da ich einen Übersetzer benutze.

Dies ist die Seriennummer 340624. Es handelt sich um Version 2.1. Ich habe das vor zwei Tagen erhalten. Es erreichte Indien, als es brandneu war. Auf dem Holzsockel befindet sich keine Nummer. Ich habe alle Seiten und auch innen überprüft.

Regards,

  • Problems with my 50H

    Hallo to all forum members,


    Please excuse my writing in English as I do not know the German language.


    My 50H arrived today from Austria, Everything is fine but the long journey has upset the automatics. The tt starts running as soon as power is switched on at the wall socket, the tonearm goes to the start of the record, lands there, then lifts up and goes back. This happens endlessly. If the stop switch is used then tt shuts off for two seconds and starts again. The platter is locked and I am not able to take it off. What could be the problem?

  • PE3046 "record drop" not working. AW3 spindle faulty?

    Hallo PE/Dual experts,






    I have recently found a PE3046 I have the service manual of PE3046, but as that is in German
    language, I am also using the Dual1224/5 service manual that is in
    English language.






    I have been able to solve the problem of the steurpimpel. All automatic
    functions in single play mode now work perfectly. However, record drop
    is not working in the changer mode. I have tried the adjustments as
    instructed in the service manual but that has not worked. I have now
    taken apart the stacker spindle and want to know if somebody has a
    cutaway drawing for that? Or something that explains how it works? There
    is no detail about the spindle in any of the Dual or PE service
    manuals.






    Regards,

  • PE3046 service manual

    Hi Holger,


    Thank you for your suggestions. I shall check them. I found manual for Dual 1228 that seems to be having the same motor and mechanism as PE3046. Only the tonearm is different.

  • Bestes plattenspieler?

    Hi! Wolfgang,


    First of all my apologies for this rather late reply. I have been so much tied down last few weeks that I could not visit here.


    OK, so a few clarifications.
    ELAC is not at all a known brand name in India. (For changers and TTs, ELAC speakers have an authorized distributor here) When vinyl was ruling, a Garrard changer was a status symbol. Dual and to some extent Grundig were the popular German brands. Bellow these came the locally assembled Philips, Murphy etc.


    The ELAC PW5 has been a member of my family since 1963. My father purchased this brand new unit (probably unsold stock from the home market as this model was discontinued in 1958). I was born in 1965 and shortly after that my father had a custom radiogram cabinet made that was fitted with a Murphy valve radio and this Elac changer. The music from that radiogram, interspersed with the change cycle going through its motions, is an integral part of my childhood memories. By the late seventies, the changer lost its auto abilities, as the rubber gear wheel under the platter disintegrated. A spare could not be found, and the changer was sent into semi-retirement as newer single play record player and transistorized stereo amp was installed. The changer has been in storage since the 80s, under the watchful eye of my mother who knows my affection for that machine. I started to search the web for information regarding Elac products and service info for Changers about 2 years ago. I could not find much for several months, until I found the image of my changer on radiomuseum.org. Here I learned the model/type number for the first time, and found some links that led me to dual-board.de. I signed up, Thorsten here has been a great help, he sent me the service manual and even removed the rubber wheel from his working unit to scan and send me the image. This enabled me to overhaul and repair my unit; I have also been able to make some modifications in the tonearm axle mechanism to bring down the VTF from the original 9.5 grams to 2.5 grams. The changer now works successfully 2with a mm cartridge also. I still have to make a proper plinth and cover for this, and hope to find time for this soon. I do love idler drive tables, and have been saving up to buy something off ebay.de. Hence the original question here, which is the best model? The biggest problem when I decide to go for this shall be the shipping costs; these may be higher than the cost of the unit itself.


    Hope this not a very boring story.


    With Warm Regards,


    Anwesh

  • Bestes plattenspieler?

    Hallo Jan and Wolfgang,


    Thank you for the responses. I was not sure if posting in English language is accepted, but your responses have removed the doubt I had. Understanding German language manuals is not a big problem to me. I landed on this forum last year during my search for the manual of Elac PW5. I could repair this successfully due to guidance and service manual given by Thorsten.


    Wishing everybody a happy Christmas,


    Regards,

    Es muss schwierig sein, diese Frage zu verstehen. Ich benutze Internet gegründete Übersetzungshilfsmittel, um hier bekanntzugeben. Morgens sure, dass die Übersetzung arm sein muss.
    Welches ist das bessere Elac von dieser Liste?
    50H, 50H II, PC815, PC818, PC870


    Danke

    Hallo alle Forummitglieder, Mein PW5 arbeitet jetzt tadellos!


    Dieses liegt am Rat und an den Informationen mögliches, die von Thorsten gegeben werden. Ich bin auch in der Lage , die aufspürenkraft von 9 Gramm auf 3 Gramm zu verringern. Für dieses. Ich entfernte die Druckfeder (l # 52) von der tonearm achse(# 51) und ersetzte den mit einem Plastikbusch. Viel Dank des Thorsten und dieses Forum. Frohe Weihnachten zu allen! :)
