^^ What is your Dual 1228 not doing?
Just checked the service records on my Dual 1218. In February 1988 I had it cleaned and lubed for $50 at a well-respected local audio shop that is no longer in business. In September 1999 I had it cleaned and lubed again, had an intermittent skating issue resolved, and had an intermittent issue of it not shutting itself off when an LP finished playing resolved, all for $100 by a different well-respected local audio shop that is no longer in business....
In May 2019 I learned of a guy in Des Moines, Iowa named Bill Neumann who specializes in restoring Dual turntables to like-new condition. His phone is (515) 240-4660 and his website is www.fixmydual.com. My 1218 will be 50 years old next year and because I continue to play it nearly every day and expect to do so for the rest of my life, at some point I will be shipping it to him for what I hope will be its final restoration....

First, MDs are always last to know, especially in orthopaedics.
Second, by analogy with the Jag, to fix your knee, you need to spray it up your nose. I'd wait until pollen season when the nose is clogged anyway. Secondary benefit is that the lithium smooths the bipolar highs and lows, if any.
