Ich verkaufe einen Dual 704 electronic direct drive Plattenspieler. Er funktioniert einwandfrei. Der Plattenspieler ist in einem tollen Zustand. Mit dazu gehört eine super erhaltene Bedienungsanleitung, sämtliche Papiere und ein Adapter von DIN auf Chinch.
Der Plattenspieler kann in Kamp-Lintfort besichtigt und ausprobiert werden.
!!! Nur Abholung !!!
Bei dem angegebenen Preis handelt es sich um eine Verhandlungsbasis.
This is a buyer’s market for this model at this ask: €200 sits right on the median of the recent comparable EUR listings, above the 25th percentile at €145 and just below the 75th percentile at €209. That makes the price fair, not a standout bargain, but also not ambitious.
The appeal here is the Dual 704’s reputation as a solid, well-engineered automatic belt-drive/compromise-free vintage deck that can be very satisfying when sorted. If the example is complete and mechanically healthy, €200 is a sensible entry point for a respected classic; the main upside is getting a musical, dependable turntable without paying top-of-market money. At this level, I’d mainly check cueing, speed stability, and that the cartridge/stylus situation is known.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
