A 1971 Dual KA-25 all-in-one stereo system from Germany.
Dual 1225 record changer
Grundig CN 710 tape recorder (Dual-voltage)
120v ~ 60Hz
This is a dual-voltage model. Can be run on 110-130v or 220v-240v. Oddly enough, it also has a setting for 150v, and the turntable motor is also rated for 150v (power going to the turntable is also at 150v).
As this is an entry-level model, it uses a ceramic phono input as opposed to a magnetic cartridge input. Currently has a Panasonic/Electro-Voice EPC-09-STAD ceramic cartridge, tracking at 1.7g
This has a 4-band radio, one for LW (Longwave), MW (AM), KW, and UKW (FM)
Tape input uses a 5-pin DIN, which I have an adapter for using standard RCA connectors.
The original turntable was a Dual 1214 3-speed but due to numerous issues plaguing it, I swapped motors into the 1225 and used the 1225 instead.
Yes, I know about the screeching belt on the Grundig. I need to import a belt from Germany since the sellers that have the belts for it are all the way in Germany.

Did we forget about one important thing?
A list of recommended turntables, if you insist on buying new instead of vintage, when upgrading from an entry-level Crosley (or variants):
https://www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comments/5ghkwd/best_new_entrylevel_turntable_to_start_out_with/
The real reasons why these cheap entry-turntables (such as the ones shown in the first 20 seconds in the video) are not recommended to buy, to begin with (or variants):
https://www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comments/5bh435/list_of_turntables_to_avoid_and_the_reasons_why/
I personally prefer buying vintage turntables over new ones (I have a Kenwood KD-1033 manual turntable, a Yamaha PF-50 full auto turntable, a Panasonic RD-7673 with a BSR A-12 changer, a Panasonic RD-7703 with a BSR A88 changer), but each to their own.
