Seller's Description

Ich biete hier meinen restaurierten Dual CR 230 Receiver an.
Das Gerät wurde aufwendig überarbeitet und funktioniert einwandfrei, alle Lautsprecherausgänge sind geprüft.

- Alle Kondensatoren der Verstärkereinheit getauscht
- Weitere defekte Kondensatoren ersetzt
- 10 Widerstände erneuert
- Insgesamt 12 Arbeitsstunden investiert davon 10 Stunden wegen diagnose

Das Gehäuse ist in einem sehr guten Zustand, lediglich oben links an der Ecke löst sich das Furnier leicht ab. Eine der Glühbirnen für die Beleuchtung ist aktuell defekt, kann aber auf Anfrage gerne noch ausgetauscht werden. Ein kleiner Hinweis: Der Ein- und Ausschalter trennt aktuell nur die Verstärkereinheit, das Licht bleibt dabei an. Für einen Stromloses Gerät bitte ausstecken.
Bei Interesse oder weiteren Fragen schreib mir gerne eine Nachricht.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

A charming old-school receiver, and €200 looks fair rather than flashy for one in excellent shape. Recent used asking prices cluster around roughly €100 to €200, with €200 sitting at the upper end but still in range for a clean, working example.

What makes it worthwhile is the Dual name, the warm late-’70s character, and its tidy 2×30 W class output that suits efficient speakers and nearfield listening well. If the listing is truly original-owner clean, with no scratchy controls and the tuner section behaving properly, it’s a solid enthusiast buy; at this price, matching knobs, lamps, and a healthy phono stage add real value.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Dual

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.
