Man what a beauty! :love: Excellent for a dedicated vintage mono set up.
I noticed the "TV" input. Home theater in 1955! Marantz thought of everything. :thumbsup:

Just out of curiosity, why is there so little vintage Marantz out there?
I see lots of Leak, Quad, Radford, Mac, HK, Fisher, Scott, but no Marantz. Did they produce that much less or is there some other reason?

PS I use to Leak Point 1 Pres into two Leak TL12s for the fun of it. If I could find a Stereo 78 with an odd eq curve, I'd be set.

The price; Marantz was the best you could get and very expensive.
