Marantz 19 Receiver Restored, Hovland Upgrades, Original Cabinet, LEDs Excellent

Description

This auction is for my Marantz Model 19 Stereophonic Receiver. This was restored years ago with a new tube, Hovland Musicap upgrades, and addition of circuits to provide preamp outputs wired into the Phono 2 RCA plugs. So in this receiver, Phono 1 is for phonograph input, but the rear panel Phono 2 plugs now are for preamp outputs, i.e. routed thru the receivers preamp section so managed by all the audio controls (volume, tone etc). The rear panel tape output RCAs provide all outputs not routed thru the preamp boards (not dependent on audio controls). An updated 3-wire grounded power plug was installed then as well. Recently this Model 19 was further restored with complete rebuilt of the power supply (all capacitors, diodes, resistors etc) and the power amplifier areas including all new output transistors. Other electrolytics throughout the receiver were also renewed including all of the time delay board capacitors. All functions on this receiver work well including Mute function and Stereo function. Excellent FM reception and FM Stereo separation are confirmed. All other inputs and outputs are working properly noting the conversion of Phono 2 RCAs to preamp outputs. The original wood cabinet for this Model 19 is included and is in excellent shape, no broken wood, no major dings. All controls were cleaned and treated with FaderLube and a new Stereo lamp was installed. All dial lamps were upgraded to soft-white LEDs. The scope tube is nice and bright and works properly in all function settings. I guarantee this will not arrive to you DOA beyond that there is no warranty, sold as-is, no returns. This will require extensive packing and new heavy-duty double boxes and that plus recently raised UPS rates, signature, insurance etc result in significant shipping costs, please review that before considering bidding. This is a USA (CONUS) only auction, shipping UPS Ground, no local pickup.
