Dual 1224

Dual 1224 Turntable: A 2-speed turntable with automatic tonearm setdown coupled to the speed selector. It features a two-pole Dual single-phase asynchronous motor and a torsionally rigid tubular aluminum arm with vertical pivot mounting. The turntable supports both 33.3 and 45 RPM speeds, with a 10-inch platter. It includes a quartz-controlled speed regulation and a pitch control knob for fine speed adjustment.

Dual 1224 vs Dual 1229: The Dual 1229 is generally considered superior to the 1224 in terms of sound quality and rigidity. The 1229 has a larger 12-inch platter, a better tonearm, and better specifications for wow/flutter and rumble. However, the 1224 can still provide good performance if well-maintained.
