Pat's Audio 1/2" Cartridge Adapter 269-611 for select Dual turntables with the ULM tonearm. Our cartridge adapter allows for the use of a standard 1/2" mount cartridge. 

We developed our proprietary and superior design and it has proven to be the most popular, reliable, and highest quality with over 700 sold. We fabricate our adapter from a strong, durable high quality plastic that won't break at the latch hooks like the injection molded type. In fact, we've never had a latch hook break or deform. 

And unlike other adapters our's is the same dimension as the original insuring an accurate fit and proper weight. We use precision fixed gold plated contacts set in the same straight line pattern as the original. These precision fixed contacts don't exert undue pressure on the headshell like those with bulky over-sized spring loaded pins.  

Our features include:

• same width and length as the original Dual design 
• flush fit with no undue pressure from contact pins
• fixed gold plated signal contacts in the optimal size, height, and row alignment
• silver coated multi-strand wires attached with plenty of clearance 
• premium alloy round cartridge connectors 
• high quality solder with clean, precise joints
• security locking grub screw
