Additional information
The Dual 1211 turntable is an entry-level model that features a two-pole motor and a ceramic cartridge. It has a single ball race for the horizontal plane in its arm, unlike the Dual 1214 which has two. The 1211 does not have an anti-skate mechanism and requires a minimum tracking force of 3 grams due to its suspension setup.
If you are looking to replace the cartridge on a Dual 1211 turntable, it is important to find one compatible with the 1/2" mounting system and a weight between 1-8 grams. The cartridge holder TK-14 is a suitable replacement part for Dual turntables.
