MARANTZ MODEL 18- EXCELLENT

The first and only receiver made by Marantz in New York City, USA. designed by the inspired team of Saul Marantz, Sidney Smith, and Richard Sequara. This receiver was gifted by Saul Marantz to a close friend and Marantz dealer. It has been kept in climate controlled storage for fifty years. It is completely functional and sounds wonderful. It has never been serviced and is all original. Please note that this is easily the best FM tuner ever incorporated in a receiver and receives clean stereo broadcasts from 75 miles away. It also has a full set of controls to minimize multi path distortion in urban invironment. The unit is very conservatively rated a 7/10 condition reflecting: a 5mm scratch under the bass control; a hairline scratch above the dubbing connector and a bent cooling fin at the back of the unit (the fin may be professionally straightened). Otherwise, it is functionally and cosmetically excellent. Please see photos and my Audiogon feedback to buy with confidence.
