Wega Kompaktanlage aus den 70er Jahren,
Musikstudio Modell 3204 Hifi ohne Boxen,
weiß, Radio und Verstärker in Ordnung,
der Plattenspieler Dual 1209 leider nicht mehr so ganz
das wäre etwas für Bastler.
Ansonsten ist das Gerät voll funktionsfähig und
in einem schönen Erhaltungszustand.
Abholung ist in Norderstedt Mitte möglich.
This is a buyer’s market for this category at the moment: at €120, this sits below the €133 25th percentile and well under the €225 median, so it reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair. For a clean example, that’s the kind of price that should get attention quickly.
The appeal here is straightforward: this is a classic idler-drive Dual with a lot of charm, strong build quality, and a loyal following for its lively, mechanical presentation. At this price, the upside is having a very listenable vintage deck without paying collector money; just make sure the platter starts cleanly, speed holds steady, and the arm functions properly, since age-related service items matter more than cosmetics on these.
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.
