Verkaufe hier eine Graetz HMC 300 Anlage mit Plattenspieler Dual 491A.
Verkaufe es als defekt da nicht weiter getestet.
Nur Abholer da die Anlage ziemlich schwer ist.
€200 looks fair to slightly strong for this table, not a bargain-bin score but still in the zone for a serviced example. Recent comparable asking prices I found are about €179 for a fully functional unit and €250 for a maintained one, so €200 sits comfortably between those two and roughly around the middle of the current used market.
What makes it worthwhile is the Dual nameplate: these are solid late-era German decks with good build, generally respectable speed stability, and plenty of appeal if you want a no-drama vintage spinner rather than a project. At this price, the value really hinges on condition and completeness, so a clean, fully working sample with a good dust cover, intact arm, and original accessories is the one to jump on. If it needs service or has uncertainty around auto functions, that would be the main thing to verify before buying.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
