Motor and drive

The turntable platter and change mechanism are driven by a vibration-free four-pole motor (168) with an extremely low stray magnetic field.

Motor speed is constant for line-voltage variations of ±10%. It is dependent on (and proportional to) line frequency. Two interchangeable motor pulleys (120) are available for adapting the changer to 50 or 60 Hz operation:

Motor pulley for 50 Hz operation: part no. 220 970

Motor pulley for 60 Hz operation: part no. 220 971

The motor pulley is secured to the motor shaft by a setscrew. When a pulley is replaced or exchanged, it must be set at the correct height (see Fig. 5).

The turntable platter is driven by the idler wheel (108) which is automatically disengaged from the motor pulley when the unit is shut off, in order to protect its driving surface.

Turntable speeds of 33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm are selected by raising or lowering the idler wheel (108) to the appropriate step on the motor pulley.

When the selector lever (6) is moved, the selector segment (112) rotates. This causes the lever (105) fitted in the slot of the selector segment to move in a vertical direction. The idler wheel (108) mounted on the swinging arm (130) is lifted off the motor pulley and set down again on the motor pulley step for the adjacent speed.

Pitch Control

For turntable speeds 33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm, the unit incorporates a voltage-independent pitch control, which permits a turntable speed variation of up to 6% (approximately one semitone).

When the pitch control knob (7) is turned, the switch segment (112) and the switch lever (105) attached to it are moved up or down. This vertical displacement changes the position of the idler wheel on whatever step of the motor pulley it has been placed on (by the speed selector), and, due to the tapered shape of the pulley, effects approximately ±3% variation in speed.

Remedy
Remove turntable platter with the help of a screwdriver inserted through the hole in the chassis placed there for the purpose. Loosen screw on tonearm head. After correcting the tonearm head, tighten screw. (Fig. 6)

Tonearm and tonearm bearing

The tonearm of the Dual 1215 S is counterbalanced and pivots vertically and horizontally on precision ball bearings. This approach gives highly favorable tracking characteristics. The tonearm head is removable. To aid in replacing or adjusting the tonearm head, a hole is provided in the turntable base to facilitate mounting the tonearm head without first removing the tonearm. Before setting the correct stylus force for the cartridge that has been installed, the tonearm should be balanced with the stylus-force setting at zero.

It is recommended that the balancing should be done right next to the tonearm rest.

The counterweight is so designed that it can balance cartridges with weights from 1 to 9 grams.

For shock absorption (the absorption of short, rapid jolts) the counterweight is elastically mounted on the tonearm and bracketed to prevent unintended rotation. The tonearm head is designed to accept all cartridges with internationally standard 1/2 inch mounting centers and with a weight not exceeding 1 - 9 grams. Stylus force is set by turning a calibrated spring housing (53), thus tensioning or slackening the spiral spring it contains. The scale is calibrated over a range of 0 to 5.5 grams, allowing an exact setting of stylus within that range in 0.5 gram steps.

Fig. 8 Tonearm bearing assembly (under view)Technical diagram of a mechanical device with numbered components for identification.

To replace the tonearm with its bearing assembly, the following procedure is recommended:

  1. Secure the unit in the repair jig, set the stylus force to zero and lock the tonearm in place.
  2. Turn the unit upside down and unsolder the tonearm leads.
  3. Remove main lever (204) and linking lever (192).
  4. Connect the springs and screw on the shield.
  5. Unfasten the c-washer and remove skating lever.
  6. After loosening the c-washer (254) and friction washer (253), separate shutoff slide (234) four segment.
  7. Loosen nut (247), holding adjusting nut (245) with an SW 14 hex wrench.
  8. Remove segment (246) with lift bolt (229).
  9. Unscrew positioning nut (245).
  10. Remove bearing race (170) with 5 balls.
  11. Return unit to upright position and remove tonearm.

To reinstall the tonearm with bearing assembly, first insert the bearing race (30) with 5 balls. Then insert the tonearm and replace the lower bearing (race and 5 balls, 170). Run up positioning nut (245) lightly onto threads by hand until you feel slight resistance. Then turn it back (loosen it) by a quarter turn. Replace segment and hex nut (247). When you tighten hex nut (247), hold positioning nut (245) with a second wrench. After tightening, you must still just be able to feel a slight play in the bearing.

After tightening the nuts, check the position of the tonearm over the tonearm rest. This is correct when it descends to the tonearm rest without binding.

When reinstalling the protective cover (237), be sure that the segment (246) can move without hindrance though the tonearm leads.

To remove the tonearm from its bearing frame, unsolder the tonearm leads, then set the stylus-force adjustment to zero. Unscrew locknut (45) with setscrew (44) and bearing screw (58) (lefthand thread). Carefully lift the tonearm free from the bearing frame.

Anti-skating adjustment

The tendency of a tonearm with an offset (angled) head to "skate" inward across the record is eliminated in the Dual 1215 S by a precision anti-skating mechanism.

Skating force depends on tonearm geometry, stylus force and the tip radius of the stylus. The inward pull on the tonearm caused by the skating effect gives rise not only to an undesirable jumping of the tonearm when it is set down on the record, but also to unequal forces on the two opposite groove walls, with corresponding ill effects. This can be corrected with proper anti-skating adjustment.

By turning the anti-skating adjustment knob (59) on the chassis, an asymmetrical curved washer (249) is turned. This washer has two different curved surfaces corresponding, respectively, to the red and black scales on the anti-skating dial. The red scale is for conical (spherical-tip) styli; the black for elliptical (bi-radial) styli. When the knob is turned, the curved surfaces push the anti-skating lever (231) away from its rest position so that it applies a suitable counterforce via a spring (233).

Skating compensation is set at the factory for conical styli with a tip radius of 0.6 to 0.7 mil (.0006 - .0007 inch), and for elliptical styli with measurements of 0.20 to 0.23 mil by 0.79 to 0.87 mil. The hex adjusting nut is tightened and sealed. Readjustments should be attempted only with the help of the Dual Skate-0-meter and test record L 096. This work is best done by an authorized Dual service agency.

Fig. 10 Tonearm guide mechanismTechnical diagram of a mechanical assembly with numbered components and labeled parts.

Tonearm movements

A guide groove located on the underside of the main cam (197) controls the automatic lift and set-down of the tonearm as the cam rotates through 360°. Tonearm lift and lowering are controlled by the main lever (204) and the lift screw (229). Horizontal movements are controlled by the main lever (204) and the segment (246). Setting the changer for playback of 7", 10" or 12" discs is done with the indexing lever (24). Setdown points are determined by the eccentric portion of the arm positioning slide (243) and the indexing lever (242).

Horizontal movement of the tonearm is limited by the arm segment striking the arm positioning slide (243). During the change cycle, the main lever (204) raises the arm positioning slide, bringing it within reach of the spring stud. On completion of the change cycle (set-down of the tonearm on the record), the arm positioning slide (243) is again released and returns to its normal position. It thus moves out of reach of the spring stud, permitting the tonearm to move horizontally without hindrance, while playing the record.

Tonearm lift (Cue control)

The tonearm lift permits the tonearm to be set down on the record safely at any desired point except the shut-off area (near the record label).

Pulling the tonearm lift towards the front turns the drive washer (207). This moves the connecting lever (192), main lever (204) and lift screw (229) to raise the tonearm.

After the tonearm is moved (by hand) to the desired spot on the record, the tonearm lift handle is lightly tapped towards the rear

to release the mechanism. The connecting lever (192) and the leaf spring (186) of the main lever are freed, allowing the tonearm to fall. The rate of fall is controlled by silicone grease on the drive washer (207).

The height of the stylus above the record can be varied from zero to about 1/4" by adjusting setscrew (211).

Turning it to the right increases the height, turning it to the left decreases the height.

Start cycle

Moving the start switch (25) moves the switch lever (181) towards the main cam (197), initiating the following sequence.

a) The set screw of the switch lever assembly (181) turns the switch arm (143) mounted on the grooved shaft (185). Via a tension spring, this actuates the rocker assembly (105) and engages the idler (108) between the platter (5) and the motor pulley (120). At the same time, the power switch (141) is actuated by the switch slide (138) through the switch arm, and the turntable begins to rotate. b) The switch lever (181) is brought within reach of the cam follower lever (236), so that it is pushed into the change position after the rotation of the main cam.

Fig. 12 Start position143, 191, 185, 183, 181, 147, 146, 242, 215, 197, 176, 182, 192, 208, 210, 244

Fig. 13 Stop positionTechnical diagram of a mechanical device with numbered components for identification.

Fig. 14 Muting switchCam wheel at zero: Contacts of muting switch opened. Cam wheel is turning: Contacts of muting switch closed.

Moving the operating switch also releases the start lever (183), pulling it towards the main cam by means of the tension spring (182). This causes coil spring to bring the shut-off lever (222) within range of the main cam dog. Thus the shut-off lever drives the main cam.

To prevent malfunctioning, the operating switch is locked during the start cycle (that is, while the main cam is turning). Just before the main cam reaches its neutral position (at the end of the change cycle), the start lever is pushed clear of the main cam by the start pin of the main cam. This restores the switch lever and operating switch to their original positions.

After installation and also after moving the changer, the unit should be started with the tonearm locked on the rest. This will automatically re-adjust the shut-off lever, which may have shifted out of position.

Manual start

When the tonearm (16) is swung inward by hand, the pawl on the switch arm drops into a support on the base plate, holding the switch arm in this position and the idler wheel (108) in contact with the platter. The slide (138) linked with the switch arm actuates the power switch and sets the turntable platter rotating.

On reaching the run-out groove, the tonearm automatically returns to its rest position and the unit shuts itself off. (See shut-off mechanism, next side). However, if the tonearm is lifted off the record and manually returned to the rest, the tabs of the arm segment (246) release the pawl. The torsion spring (176) then returns the switch arm to its initial position, opening the power switch and disengaging the idler wheel.

Stop switching

When the operating lever is moved to "stop", the starting lever (183) is pushed forward. As a result, the shut-off linkage comes into contact with the main cam. The swinging lever (236) remains in its stop position.

When the tonearm is on its rest and the operating lever is pushed to "stop", the operating lever must not jam.

Muting Switch

To prevent the noises of the change cycle from being sent through the audio system, the apparatus is fitted with a short-circuiting (muting) switch (239). The switch springs for both channels are actuated by the main cam (197). In the tonearm rest position, the muting switch is opened.

Fig. 15 Record drop244 243 143 215 234 174 197 191 239 171 183 181 204

Record drop

Insert the appropriate spindle - AW 3 for standard records (7 mm center hole) or AS 12 for 45 rpm records (38 mm center hole).

Record drop is initiated by the rotation of the cam, whose cam surface guides the cam rocker, pushing the change actuator stud and releasing a record by means of the automatic spindle. The main cam is designed so that a record can drop only when the tonearm is above the tonearm rest and thus out of the reach of the largest possible records (12" diameter).

Fig. 16 Actuating "change" or "shut-off"a b c PR M 197 223 222 234

Shut-off and change cycle

The dog (M) on the turntable platter gear (PR) and the shut-off lever (222) actuate both the change cycle at the end of the record as well as the shut-off after the last record in a stack is played.

At the end of a record, the tonearm moves towards the center at an accelerated rate due to the increased pitch of the grooves. This motion carries the shut-off lever (222) towards the dog by means of the shut-off slide (234). The eccentric dog pushed the shut-off lever (232) back at each revolution as long as the tonearm advance is only one normal record groove.

The run-out groove with its steeper pitch moves the shut-off lever against the dog with greater force, engaging the shut-off lever (222) and causing the main cam (197) to be driven out of its neutral position by the turntable platter gear.

Fig. 19Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with labeled component 'N' (no text or symbols beyond label).

Shut-off mechanism

Shut-off and change functions are determined by the position of the cam follower lever (236). After every start or record-drop, the cam follower lever is brought to its stop position by the main lever (204) (longer end towards the center of the main cam). As the record is dropped the cam follower lever (236) is turned to its start position by the cam rocker (171), so that the tonearm can swing in toward the record and be lowered on to it. If there are no more records on the spindle and the cam rocker cannot turn the cam follower lever, the lever remains in its stop position and allows the tonearm to swing to its rest position.

When the main cam (197) returns to its neutral position, the switch arm (143) drops into a cut-out in the main cam, opening the power switch (141) and disengaging the drive idler (108).

Symptom

Turntable stops after automatic setdown of the tonearm

Cause

a) Switch arm (143) is not latched by pawl (194) b) Power switch opens

Remedy

a) Loosen screw and turn the short arm piece on the long switcharm piece. Move the tonearm in and turn the main cam to its neutral position and adjust for about 1/64" play between cam and rectangular bolts riveted into the chassis. b) As the tonearm moves in, switch slide (138) must over-travel by about 1/64". Its tab must engage the switch (138).

Lubrication

All bearings and sliding points have been properly lubricated during assembly. Re-lubrication is normally not necessary for about two years since all important bearings are provided with oil retainers and sintered bearings.

Lubrication should be applied sparingly. It is of primary importance that no oil or grease should get onto the friction surfaces of the drive wheel, motor pulley or turntable, to avoid slippage. For the same reason, avoid touching these parts.

Use the following lubricants:

DUAL 1215 S - Lubrication - 1

Adhesive oil, Renotac No. 342

DUAL 1215 S - Lubrication - 2

BP oil, Super Visco-static 10 W/30

DUAL 1215 S - Lubrication - 3

Shell Alvania No. 2

DUAL 1215 S - Lubrication - 4

Isoflex PDP 40

DUAL 1215 S - Lubrication - 5

Wacker silicon oil AK 500 000
