Der Plattenspieler ist seid ca. 18 Jahren in meinen Händen und in der zeit auch immer benutzt wurden. Das Gerät wurde damals von mir Überholt, Riemen neu, alle Lampen neu, Bauteile im Netzteil, alles gereinigt, Lift überholt und neu befüllt. Umbau auf Chinch Buchsen mit Kabel bis zum Tonarm ( Neutrik ).
Leider ist das Gewicht es Tonarmes abgebrochen, ich habe keine Lust dieses Instand zusetzen. Das Ersatzteil gibt es für 50€ neu.
The timing is decent: this is a classic vintage deck, so the main question is condition, not model age. At €188, it lands below the €206 25th percentile and well under the €222 median, so this reads as a strong deal rather than just fair value.
It’s a respected belt-drive/hi-fi-era machine with a good reputation for musical, solid playback and a substantial build, which is exactly why clean examples still attract interest. If it’s truly good and complete, the upside is straightforward: you’re buying below typical asking levels for a well-regarded classic with real enthusiast appeal. I’d still confirm the arm works smoothly, speed is stable, and the dust cover, headshell, and cartridge situation are sensible, but at this price the listing is already attractive.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Telefunken stands as one of Europe's most storied audio brands, founded on May 27, 1903, as a joint venture between German industrial giants Siemens and AEG. Created at Kaiser Wilhelm II's direction to consolidate wireless telegraphy expertise, the company quickly became the continent's dominant force in radio and electronic communications. The Telefunken name itself derives from "tele" (telegraphy) and "funken" (sparks), reflected in the brand's iconic lightning-bolt logo. By the mid-twentieth century, Telefunken had established itself across multiple continents, with its radio equipment and vacuum-tube receivers earning widespread recognition for quality throughout non-communist Europe.
The brand's product heritage centers on vacuum-tube microphones and audio components, particularly its legendary studio recording equipment developed during the golden age of analog recording. Telefunken became synonymous with premium vacuum-tube technology, and its vintage microphones—especially the ELA M 251—remain highly sought after by professional recording engineers and collectors. The company also manufactured semiconductors, computers, and consumer electronics through the mid-twentieth century, though these divisions eventually declined as Japanese competition intensified during the 1960s and 1970s.
Today's Telefunken operates as a niche boutique brand focused on preserving and recreating its analog legacy. Telefunken Elektroakustik, established in 2001 in Connecticut, specializes in historically accurate reproductions of vintage vacuum-tube microphones and has expanded into modern designs that blend classic sonic characteristics with contemporary manufacturing. The brand occupies the high-end professional and audiophile segment, commanding premium prices justified by meticulous craftsmanship and deep historical authenticity. For discerning listeners and recording professionals, Telefunken represents both tangible connection to audio's golden era and continued commitment to analog excellence.
