Schallplattenspieler ist nicht funktionsfähig und müsste einmal durchgemessen und die fehlerhafte Komponente ersetzt werden.
Ansonsten nur wenig benutzt und in sehr gutem Zustand.
Alle Angaben zum Gerät siehe Bilder.

This €50 asking price for the RFT Granat 516 turntable is a strong bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of €56 for recent comparable EUR listings in your database. The median for this model is €156, with the 75th percentile at €204, making this listing an exceptional deal that demands immediate attention from any serious buyer.
The RFT Granat series is a respected East German hi-fi staple, known for its robust construction and reliable performance that delivers warm, authentic sound. At this price, the upside is massive: even if the unit needs a basic belt or cleaning, you’re paying less than half the typical floor price for a well-loved piece of vintage audio history. Unless the condition is visibly catastrophic or missing critical parts, this is a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts who value original RFT character over modern convenience.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
RFT, or Rundfunk- und Fernmelde-Technik, emerged in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) during the Cold War era, functioning not as a single manufacturer but as a state consortium uniting numerous VEB (state-owned) enterprises in radio, television, and telecommunications. Active from the 1950s through the 1980s, it coordinated production across factories like VEB Funkwerk Köpenick and VEB Nachrichtenelektronik, branding a diverse array of electronics under the RFT label for domestic and export markets. This collective structure reflected the centralized economy of the GDR, with no individual founder but a legacy tied to postwar industrial revival.
The brand's product focus centered on consumer and professional audio gear, including bookshelf speakers, full-range drivers, vacuum tubes, and communications electronics like radios and two-way systems. Iconic examples encompass 1970s RFT bookshelf speakers with Tesla-sourced drivers, 1950s EGB (RFT) units for high-sensitivity radio applications, and ECC83 preamp tubes widely used in European amps. Amplifiers and turntables appeared sporadically via consortium members, but RFT excelled in affordable, robust loudspeakers and components rather than high-fidelity esoterica.
Today, RFT occupies a niche vintage-collector space among hi-fi enthusiasts, prized for its utilitarian GDR engineering and surprising sonic performance—often high-sensitivity designs that punch above their budget origins. Far from high-end or contemporary mid-tier contenders, these pieces appeal to retro hunters seeking Cold War-era bargains with character, though sourcing verified originals demands caution amid rebrands and fakes. Obscure outside specialist circles, RFT evokes affordable analog nostalgia without pretension.
