With a little sadness, selling my trusty Marantz 2325, one of the best classic silver-face receivers ever made. Boasting 125 watts per channel RMS of warm, accurate power and beautiful aesthetics, this unit is the centerpiece of any room.
I bought this in good vintage condition (only flaw is a little scratch on the top wood panel near the faceplate--not even visible if the unit is in an audio rack or in a normal spot in a sound system) and had it fully recapped and bench tested by a... reputable local shop. Although I'm a pretty hardcore record collector, I don't play my records very often, so this has seen only occasional use. I had the unit fully cleaned and lubed a few weeks ago, so it's fair to say that this is in prime operating condition and ready for another 30 years of serious listening.
When buying a vintage receiver, it's important that the capacitors have been replaced. If you buy a unit in vintage condition, the capacitors are ticking time bombs just waiting to fail and cause fuzzy sound or worse. As you can see from the receipts, I have a good $600 of repairs into this unit. It's been well-maintained.
Receiver will be double boxed and packed in a professional manner.
