At €12,345, this is not a fair buy for a Phono 1700; it’s wildly above the usual used-market territory and reads as a clear outlier rather than a collectible-grade exception. Typical ITT turntable listings surface in the low hundreds of euro, with examples around €44, €89, €129, €149, and €199, so this asking price is off by an enormous margin.
The upside of this deck is the same reason vintage ITT pieces still get attention: solid old-school German-market hi-fi, decent parts support for things like needles and belts, and the appeal of a well-kept original example. But at this price, condition and completeness don’t rescue it unless there’s an extraordinary, documented provenance story; for a normal buyer, the right move is to pass and wait for a sensibly priced one.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# ITT Audio/Hi-Fi Brand Description
ITT's presence in consumer audio stems from its mid-20th-century diversification into electronics manufacturing. Founded in 1920 as International Telephone & Telegraph by brothers Sosthenes and Hernand Behn, the company evolved from telecommunications into a sprawling conglomerate. By the late 1960s, ITT acquired the British electronics manufacturer Kolster-Brandes Limited and expanded significantly into UK domestic markets, producing televisions, audio equipment, and portable radios under the ITT and ITT KB brands through the 1970s and beyond.
ITT's audio division focused primarily on receivers, amplifiers, and tape decks positioned in the mid-market consumer segment rather than high-end audiophile territory. Models such as the 8032 receiver/amplifier and 8021 tape deck represent the brand's output during its active years in consumer electronics. The company's audio products reflected solid engineering practices typical of major electronics manufacturers of that era, though they competed alongside more specialized hi-fi brands.
Today, ITT audio equipment exists primarily in the vintage and collector market. Original units occasionally surface in secondhand channels and appeal to enthusiasts seeking period-correct 1970s–1980s electronics. While not commanding premium prices or cult status, ITT audio gear is generally regarded as competent, well-constructed equipment from a reputable industrial manufacturer rather than a dedicated audio specialist. Availability of service documentation and replacement parts remains limited, making condition and functionality key considerations for prospective buyers.
