Considered by many to be in the highest tier of Dual turntables. This one is Very clean & has just gone through a full service with all parts replaced as needed. Speed is dead on, includes a Real Shure m95ed cartridge and needle: it sounds just like it should. Nice enough Dust cover but does has the standard Dual crack/break at the back corner. It doesn't affect the playability in any way. A beauty, come listen, you'll be impressed. I've also got a 1265 that's almost ready to go.........
