Daul 1214 record player question How to set up and use the 6 LP stacking spindle?

Question

I just got a a dual 1214 record player and well i dont have the manual. It came with a 6 LP stacking spindle that is suppose to allow 6 lps to be played in a row. However i dont know how to set it up to do this. here is a link to a pic of it that shows the spindle as well.

record players were before my time. So i dont know much about them. I can get it to play one record without the stacking spindle

I think there is more to it then just sticking the 6 records on it pressing play. The record player plays one and moves the arm back to the original position and then shuts off.

Answer 1

Hi. It does not say in the specifications about stacking 6 records on the spindle. That was the old fashioned way years ago. It mentions it has a 6 percent speed adjustment. Maybe it is for 78 RPM Records,but i would not stack LP 'S on top of each other otherwise the arm will not track at the correct angle.

Here is a link for a copy of the manual,if you are interested.

Answer 2

Somewhere in this house there lurks a Dansette radiogram, bought around 1959/60. It was still working a few years ago. I also have a hifi which must be about 35 years old. I haven't played any records on it for ages but the radio still sounds good. I now have a collection of cds but the cd players don't seem to last more than a year or so and the sound isn't up to much, a bit tinny. I hesitate to buy a decent one.

Answer 3

you stick the spindle in (make sure it is properly inserted and properly seated). stack 6 records on it then hit engage
