Dual - 505-3 - Audiophile concept Record player

Very nice sounding popular turntable from Dual.
It fully works and sounds amazingly good due Ortofon stylus DN165.

New belt is installed
Both RPMs are steady and correct. Some old fat is cleaned so it switches on correctly.
Arm goes up at the end and platter stops.

Player is in excellent condition, but the dustcover has some tiny scratches on a few places. It’s barely visible.
RCA plugs fitted.
