Help me choose my first vintage turntable

Akai AP-206C (€130) vs. Serviced Dual 1218 (€100)

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a vintage turntable in France and need help deciding between two local second-hand options. My main priorities are build quality, sound performance, long-term durability, and holding its value over time.

Here are the two options currently on the table:

Option 1: Akai AP-206C – €130

In very clean cosmetic condition, complete with original dust cover and vintage paperwork/manuals.

The seller agreed to €130 bundled with an Audio-Technica cartridge (low usage) instead of the stock Akai PC-100 (though I might try to get both).

Option 2: Dual 1218 – €100

Comes with a Shure cartridge (stylus reported in great shape).

Recently maintained and relubricated/degreased by the previous owner.

Which one would you pick considering the price difference, audio quality, and long-term reliability? Thanks for your advice!
