Verkaufe einen absoluten Exoten und zwar einen Dual CD120 (baugleich mit dem Hitachi DA-1000). Der CD-Player ist 43 Jahre alt und optisch gut in Schuss (auf der Oberseite ein paar Kratzer). Die Klappe funktioniert. Leider hört man beim Abspielen ein leichtes Rauschen (dieses wird mit Zeit weniger). Deshalb wird er auch als defekt verkauft.
Preis € 149,00 plus die tatsächlichen Versandkosten

This is a strong deal: at €149, it sits well below the €176 25th percentile and far under the €202 median for recent EUR comparables, so it reads as bargain territory rather than merely fair.
The attraction here is the value proposition on a classic Dual player: these older decks can be appealing for their simple, no-nonsense build and vintage charm, and if it’s genuinely for parts, the low ask makes sense as a donor, repair project, or cosmetic shelf piece. The main upside is price; the main limitation is obvious—buy it only if you’re comfortable with a non-working unit and want it for parts or restoration rather than plug-and-play use.

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.
