I picked up this piece of vintage stereo equipment for $1. The lady wanted $5 for it so I plugged it in and it powered up but the power button won't stay on. A common failing of this model. Anyway I said it don't work so how about I give you a $1 so you don't have to lug it to the trash? It weighs a ton, ok rough estimate 35 pounds. And she says sure. Ya I would have paid the $5 anyway, but doesn't hurt to ask.
It is a Marantz Model 2230 Receiver. I am no audiophile but when I hooked it up to test it further I was blown away by the quality of this old machine. Since I only have $1 invested in it I am wondering if it would be worth it to restore? It has a few issues like the power button and a few bulbs out and the dial is off about a complete 1.0. So if you want to tune in 98.1 you have to set the dial to 97.1. Also I took the lid off and it is filthy inside. I think if I sold it as is on the bay I could get about $125 for it. (my estimate) But I really don't want to ship this.
If there are any audiophiles on here your input would be welcomed. Thanks.
