Verkaufe aufgrund von Sammlungs Auflösung diesen schönen Verstärker. Er funktioniert und macht was er soll.
This is a fair ask, and on the strength of the market history it looks reasonably priced at €100 rather than a bargain-bin steal. The original price was about 1,100 DM, and for a working example in good condition, €100 sits in sensible territory for a desirable late-’80s/early-’90s Dual/Rotel-built receiver.
What makes it worth a look is the mix of 60 W per channel, remote control, and that compact, well-made vintage receiver feel; these are solid everyday specs for a secondary system or smaller room. If the unit is clean, fully functional, and includes the remote, €100 is easy to justify. I’d mainly verify smooth operation of all inputs, the relay/protection behavior, and the condition of the volume and selector controls, since age-related wear matters more than cosmetics here.
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.
