A respected mid-tier Dual, the CS 2235 Q has enough reputation to make a clean example worth considering. At €70, this sits at the low end of the typical used range I found, with recent asks clustering around about €69 to €140 and better-presented examples landing closer to €75–€90, so this is a strong buy if it’s genuinely working and complete.
What makes it appealing is the usual Dual formula: full automatic convenience, quartz direct-drive stability, and a properly “set-and-forget” feel that still plays well in a serious vinyl rig. If the arm lift, speed lock, and auto-return are smooth, and the dust cover, hinges, and cartridge setup are intact, €70 is a very sensible entry point. For that money, it’s the sort of vintage deck that can be bought with enthusiasm rather than caution.
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.
