Marantz 1060 with an original WC-10 wood case. New power switch and lamp, cleaned and working good. I will include new short cables to connect the pre out and main in.
I was originally going to recap it but it sounds amazing as it is, tight bass and crisp highs with plenty of power.

"Strength: Beautiful phono stage. Trademark "Marantz Sound"--that is, the closest SS will ever get to tube sound--and without th...e hassle.
Weakness: It has no weaknesses. I have owned and still own several of these. The rated (by Marantz) 30 watts RMS is more like 45 and, in the real world, it will crush modern digital gear rated at 100 watts."

"This amplifier is a real gem. A total piece of history in the Hi-Fi world. Growing up, my Father had one sitting in the garage. As a kid I always thought of it as the basement amp, full of dust and nothing special. After striking an interest in stereos, I was quickly awakened to the special sound that lies within...The Marantz is now merely finished with it's second College experience. I use it daily and constantly find myself blown away at the simplicity and sonic power introduced by the Marantz. If you come across one, snag it!"

"Marantz Model 1060 is a great amp, its fame is fully deserved. It sounds good and smooth at the same time, its only weakness it that it is a bit lowest bass-shy, but this can be remedied by replacing the main filter capacitor and the coupling capacitors with new, bigger caps. It has the looks, the sound and the functionality. While it is admittedly not cheap, it does not lose its value, it has actually gained value in recent years."
The Marantz 1060 is a stereo console amplifier featuring three line inputs, one phono input and a tape loop.
The amplifier section is split into pre and power sections which can split for use with an external processor.
The unit has two sets of switchable sockets for main/remote speakers.
