I'll have to check out all of them, but especially the Dual. I owned one as a kid and I remember it said "Made in West Germany", prior to the reunification.
I briefly owned a 1229 that, back then, was considered one of the top changers. The base was kind of nifty because it featured a hinged drop down door on the front, where you kept spindles and a 45 rpm adapter.
Later I had a 704, which was the beginning of the end for Dual. Their first DD, the 701, had very nice cosmetics. It looked upscale. The semi-auto 704 (and fully auto 721) showed signs of cheapening in the cosmetic department. You could tell the cost cutting. In fact, I owned it until last year, when the elctronics gave out. By then it was time to recycle it to the local land-fill.
Dual then got in bed with Ortofon, producing their ULM 'tables, featuring a lot of electronic circuitry of questionable reliability.
In Germany they currently sell a higher end record player called the Primus Maximus. The name sounds like something from a rude Monty Python movie, but the deck itself looks nice. Low torque DD, but doesn't appear to be automatic. Like the old ULM era, Dual is still in bed with Ortofon, but at a higher level, I guess.
