Seller's Description

Aus meiner Hifi- Schublade verkaufe ich diesen guten Tonarm aus den frühen 1970er Jahren.

Es ist ein Audio Technica AT 1005, er kommt mit dem Headshell, das er dranhatte, als ich ihn aus seinem originalen Plattenspieler holte. Das Headshell hat einen Standard SME Anschluss und ist problemlos ersetzbar

Der Tonarm hat nicht, wie meisten Artgenossen eine Verchromung, sondern ist in matter Optik gehalten, der man leicht das Alter ansieht.

Das hat aber keine technischen Auswirkungen, der Tonarm hält und hat kein Spiel. Er kommt mit Gegengewicht und der Aufnahme. Alles, was fehlt ist der Faden und das daran hängende Antiskatinggewicht. Das sollte problemlos zu ersetzen sein.

Versand ist möglich, Abholung auch. Zahlung x paypal, Überweisung und in bar

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Should you jump on it at €150? For an AT1005 in good condition, that reads as fair-to-good value rather than a steal; these older Audio-Technica arms are sought after, but this model usually trades as a solid vintage buy instead of a cheap one.

It’s well regarded for being robust, visually tidy, and genuinely usable on a serious deck, with enough cachet to interest Lenco and other vintage-table people. The main thing to check is what’s actually included, because this arm is often found without the lift and other small parts, and those extras matter more than cosmetic wear on a piece like this.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Audio-Technica

Founded in 1962 in Tokyo's Shinjuku district by Hideo Matsushita, Audio-Technica began as a phonograph cartridge specialist, launching the innovative AT-1 moving-magnet model with a diamond-tipped cantilever that revolutionized affordable high-fidelity playback. Starting with just three employees in a rented house and one million yen in capital, the company quickly expanded, supplying cartridges to Japanese audio manufacturers and relocating as demand surged. This heritage of precision engineering and democratic access to superior sound defines its enduring Japanese craftsmanship.

Audio-Technica has broadened far beyond cartridges into a comprehensive lineup of hi-fi essentials, excelling in headphones, professional microphones, turntables, and phonographic styli. While not heavily focused on amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, it produces elite receivers, wireless systems, and cables, alongside OEM transducers and sensors for pro audio. Its turntables and headphones span entry-level to audiophile grades, with Bluetooth and noise-cancelling models bridging consumer and studio needs.

Renowned for delivering exceptional value through durable, innovative design, Audio-Technica occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by enthusiasts for reliability without extravagant pricing. It garners consistent awards for performance and builds trust via Olympic-grade microphones and global subsidiaries, appealing to discerning buyers seeking proven engineering over boutique exclusivity.
