Biete hier ein Telefunken RC 200 Kassettendeck
Auflösung aus Altersgründen, das Gerät stand ewig unbenutzt im Lager, ein aktueller Test ergab Funktionsfähigkeit.
Habe Ihn gerade mal mit einen Kopfhörer getestet
Zustand siehe Fotos
€180 is fair for a Telefunken RC 200 if it’s complete and properly working. I’d treat it as near-median vintage-deck money rather than a bargain: this is a desirable early-’80s German machine with a serious spec sheet, but not the kind of deck that commands a big premium just for the badge.
What makes it worth a look is the combination of 2 heads, 2 motors, metal-tape support, and Telefunken’s High Com system, plus the fact that these are less common than mainstream Nakamichi/Technics models. If the transport is smooth, the belts/idlers are healthy, and the heads aren’t badly worn, this is a solid buy; original knobs, uncracked fascia, and any service history add real value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Telefunken stands as one of Europe's most storied audio brands, founded on May 27, 1903, as a joint venture between German industrial giants Siemens and AEG. Created at Kaiser Wilhelm II's direction to consolidate wireless telegraphy expertise, the company quickly became the continent's dominant force in radio and electronic communications. The Telefunken name itself derives from "tele" (telegraphy) and "funken" (sparks), reflected in the brand's iconic lightning-bolt logo. By the mid-twentieth century, Telefunken had established itself across multiple continents, with its radio equipment and vacuum-tube receivers earning widespread recognition for quality throughout non-communist Europe.
The brand's product heritage centers on vacuum-tube microphones and audio components, particularly its legendary studio recording equipment developed during the golden age of analog recording. Telefunken became synonymous with premium vacuum-tube technology, and its vintage microphones—especially the ELA M 251—remain highly sought after by professional recording engineers and collectors. The company also manufactured semiconductors, computers, and consumer electronics through the mid-twentieth century, though these divisions eventually declined as Japanese competition intensified during the 1960s and 1970s.
Today's Telefunken operates as a niche boutique brand focused on preserving and recreating its analog legacy. Telefunken Elektroakustik, established in 2001 in Connecticut, specializes in historically accurate reproductions of vintage vacuum-tube microphones and has expanded into modern designs that blend classic sonic characteristics with contemporary manufacturing. The brand occupies the high-end professional and audiophile segment, commanding premium prices justified by meticulous craftsmanship and deep historical authenticity. For discerning listeners and recording professionals, Telefunken represents both tangible connection to audio's golden era and continued commitment to analog excellence.
