Offered is „Fat Bob“ by Transrotor as second-hand device from the category „Record Player complete“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 0465517827 ends on 14.10.2026 at 06:17 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for the category at this level, and €2,400 lands almost exactly on the median of your recent comparable EUR listings, so the asking price looks fair rather than cheap or ambitious. It is also well within the middle of the market band you gave, sitting just under the 75th percentile and comfortably above bargain territory.
The appeal here is straightforward: this is a respected high-mass deck with serious upgrade potential, the sort of turntable that can anchor a very high-end analogue setup for years. If the bearing, motor, platter, and suspension are healthy and the package includes the right armboard and any premium accessories, it is a sensible buy at this price. On a clean used example in good condition, I’d view it as a solid opportunity rather than a project.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Transrotor traces its roots to 1971 in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, where Jochen Räke founded the company after importing British turntables like the iconic Transcriptor Hydraulic Reference—famously featured in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Initially partnering with Michell Engineering for early models such as the 1976 Transrotor AC, Räke blended British design flair with German engineering precision. Production fully shifted to Germany by 1986 with the Connoisseur, marking full independence, and the family-run business under son Dirk Räke upholds this heritage today, even restoring vintage Transcriptors.
The brand specializes exclusively in high-end turntables, crafting precision instruments renowned for their massive, resonance-damping plinths, sophisticated suspension systems, and bespoke components. Models like the Massimo Nero exemplify this focus, prioritizing analog playback purity over diversification into amplifiers, speakers, or digital sources.
Transrotor occupies a niche boutique position in the ultra-high-end market, celebrated among audiophiles for "Made in Germany" excellence, sustainability, and timeless performance. As Germany's oldest turntable maker, it appeals to discerning collectors and vinyl enthusiasts seeking heirloom-quality decks that stand apart from mass-market fare.
