The for-parts condition is the key point, but EUR 69 is still a strong deal against the supplied market: it sits below the EUR 63 25th-percentile mark only narrowly, and well under the EUR 102 median. For a recognizable Braun Audio 400 S, that is bargain territory if the main chassis is complete and recoverable.
The appeal is real: this is a handsome 1970s Dieter Rams-era compact system with a capable PS 450-based automatic deck, known for quiet idler-drive performance, good speed stability, and a lively Shure cartridge when fitted. Expect restoration work—hardened lubricant, belt or idler issues, cartridge condition, and possibly electrical servicing are the meaningful checks—but at EUR 69 there is room for that. Verify the platter, tonearm, controls, lid, and amplifier are present before buying.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Braun Audio traces its origins to 1921, when German engineer Max Braun founded the company in Frankfurt as a modest workshop producing radio components. By 1929, it had launched its own receivers, earning international acclaim at the 1937 Paris World Fair for sound engineering innovations. Post-World War II, Braun rebuilt with a sharp focus on high-fidelity reproduction, pioneering advancements under designer Dieter Rams from 1956 onward, including the first all-wave receiver, mobile music player (TP1 in 1959), stackable Hi-Fi systems, and wall-mounted integrated setups—many now museum pieces like those at MoMA.
The brand excelled in compact, modular stereo systems during the 1960s and 1970s, with iconic models like Audio 1, Audio 2, Audio 250, and Audio 300 featuring solid metal casings and uncompromised sound quality. Braun emphasized innovative portables, record players with plexiglass covers, and educational brochures on optimal listening setups, blending functionality with Rams' minimalist aesthetic across radios, phonographs, amplifiers, and early headphones.
Renowned among vintage collectors and design aficionados for its ahead-of-its-time hi-fi heritage, Braun Audio holds a niche position as a mid-tier icon of German engineering precision. After a 28-year hiatus, it relaunched in the 2010s under license, targeting enthusiasts who value timeless quality over cutting-edge exotica, with a current emphasis on preserving its storytelling legacy through curated webshops and reissues.
