Beautiful Vintage Marantz 2270- LED Upgrade- Serviced- 1970′s Flagship Picture(s) and Description:

Iconic and Beautiful Marantz 2270- LED Upgrade- Serviced is a classic vintage 1970's 2270 Marantz stereo receiver that many consider to be one of the finest of the vintage Marantz receivers and has a buttery, warm sound quality. The Marantz 2270 was the quintessential receiver- a must have for over 40 years. These vintage receivers are known for their high quality sound and excellent build quality. The receiver has the great looking silver brushed aluminum faceplate with metal knobs, large blue lighted tuning scale, and wood look metal cabinet. The receiver has had all controls and switches cleaned and lubricated and is in excellent working condition with clean sound and all festoon lamps have been newly replaced with LED’s- more on that later. The function lamps were replaced as well as the stereo lamp. New diffuser paper was installed behind the tuner scale glass to bring out the deep blue of the LED’s color display. Power output is a wonderful 70 watts per Channel. That wattage is underrated and this is a great receiver to connect a Phono turntable or CD player and even an IPOD or listen to the AM/FM stereo radio. The receiver has a high quality AM-FM tuning radio section with Gyro-Touch Tuning and the radio section is in excellent working condition. The receiver has good tonal control with Treble, Midrange, & Bass control and a Loudness switch to boost frequency range at low volume levels. There are inputs for 1- Phono, Tape 1 and 2, the AUX and the Tape inputs can be used for CD or DVD analog. There are 2 Inputs for Main AMP IN and Preamp Out so these sections can be used independently if desired. The 2270 receiver can handle down to 4 Ohm speakers so a wide variety of speakers can be used. Four pairs of speakers can be connected with an 8 Ohm minimum per pair. The receiver has been thoroughly cleaned and the faceplate & knobs were hand polished. The faceplate and knobs are in very nice clean condition with minimal wear. The faceplate lettering is in excellent condition. There is a small ding on the left top corner of the faceplate that shows up alot more it the pic's than it does in person. The wood look metal cabinet is excellent. By the way, the LED's we use are custom equal value equivalents .. snap in type festoon lamps .. Can be taken right out like a normal fuse lamp ..... In our opinion is that anyone that would modify & solder LED lamps into the lamp housing of a Classic Marantz receiver is obviously missing the point. Why LED’S? First off they last up to 10,000 hours and probably will never need to be replaced. But more importantly, LED’s run considerably cooler than their incandescent cousins. The excessive heat given off by incandescent bulbs can ruin your valuable investment from the inside out. Unless otherwise indicated, all items are sold AS-IS.
