Record Player, Reel to Reel, 8-Track, Turntable & Tape Deck Parts Tool
Part Search Results for your Dual 1242 :
Make: Dual
Model: 1242
BELTS: All Belts sold individually. When you buy 2 or more belt sizes, you are creating a belt kit "on the fly". Replacing all belts at once avoids multiple repairs.
LITERATURE: All docs are PDF DOWNLOAD, never paper. Service manuals & schematics buy you 5 minutes phone or email troubleshooting. Excludes component level.
NEEDLES: Caution! Correct selection requires visual shape match to old needle assembly. If a cartridge has ever been changed, it destroys the presumed model to needle match, so we must focus on the current cartridge alone to get the right needle. If present, enter numbers found on cartridge or needle in search box or send us pics. WARNING: Numbers found in an owner manual, on a sticker or on a needle box laying nearby *may* refer to a cartridge not currently in use..
