Dual - CK6 / 1214 Hi-Fi chassis / DMS200 cartridge / New stylus - Turntable

Vintage Dual CK6 / 1214 / DMS200 / New stylus

This classic German idler-wheel drive unit has been serviced, cleaned, and freshly lubricated. Unlike the standard 2-pole versions, this specific unit is equipped with the upgraded, high-fidelity 4-pole synchronous motor, allowing it to run smoothly and quiet without interference.

Here is the breakdown of each component and what makes this setup special:

Dual 1214 (The Turntable/Chassis): A fully automatic, idler-wheel drive turntable produced between 1970 and 1974. It supports three speeds (33, 45, and 78 RPM) and features a pitch control knob for fine speed adjustments. It can also function as a record changer with the appropriate spindle.

Dual CK 6 (The Plinth/Console): The factory wood-grain base designed specifically to house Dual's medium-chassis turntables (such as the 1214, 1215, 1216, and 1218). It typically features a walnut or white finish that defines the iconic 70s hi-fi aesthetic.

Dual DMS 200 (The Cartridge): A Moving Magnet (MM) phono cartridge manufactured by Audio-Technica to Dual's specifications. It uses a NEW stylus and offers vastly superior sound quality, lower record wear, and wider frequency response compared to the basic ceramic cartridges of the era.
