Hallo zusammen,
ich biete hier ein absolutes Highlight für Sammler, HiFi-Nostalgiker und Liebhaber historischer Audiotechnik: Ein originales Telefunken Magnetophon 85 KL Röhren-Tonbandgerät im charmanten Kofferdesign aus der Zeit um 1959–1962 (hergestellt in West-Germany).
Das Gerät ist optisch für sein stolzes Alter in einem wunderbaren, authentischen Zustand und bringt das originale Vintage-Flair sofort in jedes Wohnzimmer oder Musikzimmer.
Details & Lieferumfang:
• Modell: Telefunken Magnetophon 85 KL (Koffergerät mit eingebautem Lautsprecher an der Vorderseite).
• Ausstattung: Robustes, graues Gehäuse mit praktischem Tragegriff. Die Anschlüsse auf der Rückseite (Phono, Mikro, etc.) sind alle sauber und original beschriftet.
• Extras: Das Gerät wird inklusive der beiden abgebildeten BASF-Tonbandschnittspulen verkauft. Das Netzkabel ist im rückseitigen Fach integriert.
Zustand:
Das Magnetophon stammt aus einem gepflegten Fundus. Optisch sehr gut erhalten mit minimaler, altersbedingter Patina. Da es sich um feine, historische Röhrentechnik handelt und ich die Funktionen nicht im Detail prüfen kann, verkaufe ich das Gerät sicherheitshalber als ungetestetes Sammlerstück, Deko-Objekt oder für Bastler/Restauratoren zur Überholung.
How bad do you want a below-market deck that’s priced under the local low end? At €75, this sits clearly below the €96 25th percentile and well under the €117 median, so it reads as a strong deal rather than a merely fair one.
The upside here is simple: if it’s genuinely excellent, you’re buying into a respected Telefunken machine with real collector appeal at a price that leaves room for service. I’d still prioritize a quick check of transport stability, recording/playback function, and whether the heads and belts have been recently sorted, because with vintage cassette gear those are the value-makers.
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.
