Dual CS-1246

Commentary

An auto multi-player that can continuously play 6 records.

Using a multi-play spindle, up to 6 pieces can be played continuously automatically.
The records are protected by the cushioning effect of the air during descent and the group guard.

Setting the knob to ∞ enables auto repeat play.

Equipped with auto mechanisms such as auto play and auto shut-off.

A straight aluminum pipe tone arm is used for the tone arm.
The cartridge can be replaced simply by sliding the fingers of the head shell back and forth.

Counter weight with resonance filter is adopted.
This counterweight consists of two mechanical resonance filters. One filter absorbs very low-frequency vibrations of several hertz caused by warping of the record, and the other filter absorbs vibrations of several tens of hertz experienced by the entire chassis.

The needle pressure adjustment mechanism uses a dynamic balance type with coil spring.
In this system, the needle pressure is adjusted by a precise spiral spring, and it plays the same role as a car suspension, so that even if the record is warped, the needle pressure remains constant for the record.

Equipped with a queue control mechanism that raises and lowers the arm during manual operation.

Equipped with a tone arm lock mechanism.

There was a multi-play spindle for a doughnut board as an option sold separately.
