Metzger Vintage Audio is proud to offer these Marantz Model 9 monoblocks. These are early serial numbers (9-1317 & 9-1362) and are in immaculate condition both cosmetically but also internally.

History & Provenance:

These model 9s were purchased by the original (and only) owner in the early 1970s. He placed them in an equipment cabinet where they remained for the last ~53 years, keeping them protected from any major dust, dirt, or movement. We have been working with his daughter on the sale, and she was telling us this was "dad's special piece" and nobody except him touched it. This is why the cases and chassis are in absolutely immaculate condition. He also kept the original service manual, owners manual, and spare parts, which are all included in the sale. 

Repair Work:

Because these had been untouched since the '70s our repair tech did need to do a fair amount of work on the inside of the units, but it's all the kind of work any tube amplifier from the 1960s typically needs. This includes:

  • Rebuilt/repaired the power supply on both
  • Replace original rectifiers on both
  • Replaced filters on both
  • Replaced resistors on both
  • Replaced all capacitors on both, including both electrolytic and poly
  • Install new JJ tube compliment on both by ApexMatching. All tubes an exact match across both amplifiers. The GE 6GC7 tubes were purchased on eBay and are NOS.
  • Thorough internal cleaning including all switches, knobs, wafer switches, and RCA jacks on both.
  • Reflowed solder on many bad/cold solder joints on both
  • Re-biased both
All electrolytics were replaced with new Nichicon, Panasonic, and Wima. No cheap Chinese electrolytics were used.

Shipping:

If you purchase through AudioGon please note that you are purchasing the Model 9's ONLY. After the purchase we will contact you to get your address for shipping. We work with a boxing/packing company that will expertly package the Model 9s with foam boards, cling film, peanuts, etc. and will be double boxed for safety. We can ship via ground shipping or 2-day air, whichever you decide. You are responsible for all packing/boxing/shipping fees and those fees must be paid before we ship the monoblocks. Alternatively, you are welcome to setup a courier service like UShip or pickup yourself at the shop.
