Just too late to meet the timeline
I've been telling the story of the brothers Christian and Josef Steidinger here on the blog.
Christian is the one who left the family business and started the Perpetuum Ebner manufacture.
But to be honest, he's the one that didn't succeed. Brother George created the DUAL brand, and that company survived in its original form till the 80's.
The photos below are turntables that I have from DUAL. Some are brought back to specs. Others are Work In Progress.
I don't have a museum. Regularly I sell the ones that I have and buy new ones to play with.

The 1010 I've just purchased and fixed a week ago. That one has outside duty during sunny days. The others I pick and choose whenever I want, until I'm tired (or someone buys one).

If you're interested in turntable maintenance, I've got a Youtube channel dedicated to that subject.
