What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ?
I am listening to Jeff Beck's There and Back on my Dual 1229. It has an AT120e cart fitted with an ATN140LC stylus. 
Used turntable for
Several years ago  bought a Dual 1219 and last Fall had it completely restored by the master Klaus Adlhoch (Dualcan on VinylEngine). It runs perfectly....as if it was 1970.Last Summer I got a 1229 and went through it myself. It is an excellent tur... 
Best value record cleaner/cleaning system
I started out using the velvet pad on a wood handle cleaner years ago.Then I got a Knosti. I was quite pleased with it other than the cycle time. I could only wash one record and then wait for it to dry enough to remove the hub and do another reco... 
best value - record cleaning machine
I am using a n Okki Nokki.  This is my second one as the first leaked almost right out of the box. The second one doesn't leak but is a bit louder when using the vacuum.I am pleased with how it cleans and works.  I found varying the surfactant use... 
Shure M91ED - replace cartridge or just get new stylus?
The M91 is a nice cart. With an upgraded stylus, I think you will enjoy it.

Record cleaning
For Christmas I got an Okki Nokki! I love this thing! I like being able to clean a record before playing it.  The vacuum is not as loud as I expected. 
Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?
I just got an Okki Nokki for Christmas. Since receiving the unit, I clean every record before playing it. I use a homemade cleaner made with distilled water, IPA, Triton X 100 and Kodak Photo Flo.  I rinse with distilled water having a little Phot... 
Record cleaning
I use a Knosti on all my new acquisitions. I visually inspect each record and sometimes play a few seconds of the record to get a feel of how much cleaning is needed.  I use a mix of distilled water, 99% IPA, a few drops of Triton 100 and a couple... 
Idler-wheel drives
I own three Dual idler drive turntables. I will start with the 1219. I got it off the auction site several years ago and using available guides at the time was able to restore it and run it several years. Over the Summer, I began to have all kinds...

I need help with a Dual 1219 that rumbles?
I have a 1229 and a 1219.  Both are dead silent.  I can put a stethoscope on either while playing a record and cannot hear any rumble.My 1228 on the other hand has a old, tired idler wheel and the rumble is apparent.  
Cartridge Recommendation for Dual 1229
I run a Shure M97xe, a V15 ii with a JICO stylus, M91ed, Grado Prestige Green or a AT vs210e on my Dual 1229, 1219 or 1228. 
I need help with a Dual 1219 that rumbles?
I would replace the idler wheel or have the one you have restored. The rubber on them gets old and hard. Any flat spots will give a thump sound or rumble that can be heard in quiet passages.I believe Turntable Needles has a program to restore old ...
