SERVICED & RECAPPED WITH UPGRADES READ MORE ON OUR "HIFI REVIEWS" PAGE New Style of Build for a 1978 Marantz, much copied by the Early 1980s for the Selector 'ribbon' & Inputs direct to the Board. Streamlined Design if still the Classic Marantz Sound. Recapped with Upgrades, 10000uf Main Caps. First opened by us so all the Original Screws which is unusual for Marantz. Typical Amp Size width if less deep. Would still fit in the Wood Cases you can buy as Repros. All Works great. Decent Sound in Marantz style if was only £111 new so not in the higher or earlier range quality if far from their Early 1980s thin sounding style. Plays Clean with Decent Bass & Good Treble. Better than you'd expect, as it's still a 1978 model. Condition is Decent, only a slight marking on the fascia left edge that's easy to not notice. Top Lid has some odd marks in the vinyl effect, away from bright desk lamps it barely shows. It's been lightly sprayed black just on the top, not sides if could be bettered or put in a Wood Case. The base is Hardboard, 1978 Technics did similar. Multivoltage works fine, the Input Mains cable the 3 core original one, it's not a plug in type, just their fitting style. Bright pics on the sides show dust much more than normal light. A smaller-medium sized amp 416mm wide x 158mm high x 242mm deep if 270mm Max Depth inc fittings if not the mains wire.
