Are Dual turntables any good?


If so, what vintage? Are they tweakable?

I saw a Dual at the flea market this weekend. Should have wrote down which one it was. I'll check back next week. I'm thinking the table is from the early 80s.

Been looking around for cheap tables to tinker with and perhaps learn something.

I believe the 701 is the most popular and sells for the most. I have a CS-5000 but I don't use it.
The 5000 is nice to look at but has a lot of plastic parts on the tonearm assembly and is hard to get the feet adjusted. It seems to work fine but I have never used it in my main system. It is known for being in the movie the Lair of The White Worm.
The other plastic part I was referring to is the cover at the base of the tonearm which appears to be aluminum but is actually plastic.
