Hallo,
verkaufe mir meinen jahrelangen treuen Begleiter Dual 704 mit dem legendären Shure V15 Tonabnehmersystem in einem weißen Chassis.
Leider ist die Nadel (ich hatte die VN 35 Jico SAS drauf) abgebrochen und ich nehme das zum Anlass, mich nun davon zu trennen, es gibt noch genug andere Plattenspieler im Haus.
Ich überlasse also dem neuen Besitzer die Wahl der Nadel, zwischen 20 und 300€ ist für jeden etwas passendes für das System verfügbar.
Auf dem letzten Bild sieht man zumindest, dass er leuchtet und dreht, ich gebe aber gerne „Garantie“, dass er mit einer neuen Nadel funktioniert, er war bei mir bis zum Nadel-Abbruch im Einsatz.
Dazu liefere ich einige auf den Bildern zu sehende Matten, darunter auch die Originale, die originale Abdeckhaube sowie ein Plattengewicht.
Abholung wäre mir natürlich am liebsten, ich kann aber auch einen Versand einrichten, müsste mich dafür aber vorher noch um eine geeignete Verpackung kümmern.
Bei Fragen gerne vorher melden!
At €250, this Dual 704 is a fair deal, sitting just above the median market price of €235 from your listings database, though comfortably below the 75th percentile of €242. While it exceeds the 25th percentile of €227, it is not ambitious given the typical Central European range for a working unit, which often starts around €200. This pricing reflects a clean, original-owner condition rather than a bargain, but it remains a solid entry point for a sought-after model.
The Dual 704 is well-regarded for its direct-drive reliability, pinpoint speed accuracy, and exceptional quietness, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts seeking a vintage performer. Manufactured between 1976–79, this generation predates many replacement models, adding rarity value. With its robust German build and consistent performance, this listing offers a genuine buying opportunity for those prioritizing longevity and sound quality over chasing the lowest price.

Dual emerged from the Black Forest region of Germany in 1907, when brothers Christian and Joseph Steidinger began manufacturing clockwork and gramophone components in St. Georgen. The company adopted its now-iconic name in 1927 after pioneering dual-mode power supplies that allowed gramophones to operate from either mains electricity or mechanical wind-up mechanisms. This innovation marked the beginning of Dual's transition from component supplier to full-fledged audio manufacturer, establishing a foundation of engineering precision that would define the brand for decades.
Dual built its reputation primarily as a turntable specialist, becoming Europe's largest turntable manufacturer by the post-war era with over 3,000 employees across multiple factories. Beyond vinyl playback, the company expanded into cassette players, CD players, and broader consumer electronics throughout the 1970s and 1980s, demonstrating versatility across analog and digital formats. The company's focus on mechanical excellence and stable drive systems earned it recognition as a dependable, quality-focused manufacturer throughout its European heyday.
Today, Dual occupies a fragmented market position following corporate restructuring in the 1990s and subsequent ownership changes. The original German turntable line continues production in St. Georgen under Alfred Fehrenbacher GmbH, maintaining traditional manufacturing standards and appealing to vintage enthusiasts and collectors. Separately, Namsung Electronics markets Dual-branded consumer electronics in the Americas at accessible price points. The brand's legacy rests primarily on its classic turntables, which remain highly sought after by collectors and audiophiles valuing precision engineering and heritage craftsmanship.
