Zum Verkauf steht ein Dual c830 Kastellendeck
Das Gerät lässt sich einschalten und bei mir hat’s funktioniert nur der record Knopf lässt sich nicht runter drücken und ich habe halt nicht alles komplett durch getestet daher verkaufe ich als defekt oder ist halt gut für jemand der sich damit gut auskennt.
At €100, the obvious alternative is another anonymous vintage deck, but the Dual C830 is a much better bet: this is a strong deal rather than merely a fair price. Working examples commonly appear around €80–€150, with serviced units higher, so €100 sits comfortably toward the good end of the market.
The C830 earns its keep with a three-head layout, direct monitoring, Dolby, adjustable bias for common tape types, clear LED meters, and a solid metal chassis. It is a capable recording deck with useful enthusiast features rather than just a playback machine, and its sturdy mechanism has a good reputation. At this price, a demonstrated working transport, clean heads, stable speed, and healthy recording function would make it an easy recommendation; budget only for routine belt or servicing work if those points are untested.

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.
