| 1963 - The first automatic high-fidelity turntable with record changing capability |
| was introduced as the DUAL 1009. This unit was the first to be sold |
| world wide. |
| The precision ball bearing mounted tonearm with a tracking force of only |
| 0.5 grams was introduced. |
| As a result of the lower friction of this new tonearm, Anti-Skating became |
| available. |
| 1965 - DUAL introduces the model 1019 turntable with the tonearm set in a |
| universal bearing mount. |
| The Anti-Skating mechanism now tests at near zero skating force! |
| The silicone dampened tonearm lift was introduced and would now |
| become the standard for all future DUAL turntables. |
| With the invention of high-fidelity, the engineers at DUAL set out to |
| set new standards in the reproduction of high-fidelity sound. |
| 1967 - Despite the competition from other vendors of audio equipment and |
| also from Color Television, DUAL continues to do well in the marketplace. |
| 1969 - Four pole synchronous motors are used and the turntable now starts |
| when the tonearm is taken off the rest. This feature appears on the |
| model 1219, which is introduced. |
| This outrageous technology was responsible for the fact that the operator |
| of the turntable could make "operational errors" in the handling of the |
| unit, but no damage to the turntable itself would occur! |
