VINTAGE MARANTZ 2270 FULL *RESTORATION-MODIFICATION* UPGRADED WITH LED LIGHTS

Description

Marantz 2270 restoration-modification as described below with work done.
Comes with a Marantz WC-22 Walnut wood case that was reconditioned (due to wear) to preserve original stain - color then 3 coats of Minwax satin rub on poly applied for a  new finish. It's not perfect with repairs done,' but I think it came out looking very presentable.  ( zoom in for a closer look ).

Elna Silmic RFS Electrolytics
Elna Silmic (ROS Series) & Silmic II (RFS Series) Electrolytic Capacitors
High-grade Silk fiber capacitors for Audio.
The
SILMIC
series are Elna's highest grade audio capacitors that exhibit superior acoustic characteristics. An entirely new type of electrolytic separating paper is used, containing silk fibers. The extreme softness of silk can mitigate vibrational energy (generated by the electrodes, by external vibrations and by electromagnetic fields). Due to it's new electrolytic and foil design the signal propagation speed has increased (the ESR is reduced) and a more powerful, yet-mellow, sound is possible than before. When these capacitors were subjected to aural evaluations, the high range peak and midrange roughness were reduced substantially. Also, the low range richness and power were increased in the obtained high-quality sound.

One of the best receivers ever made with amazing Vintage quality sound.
This Marantz 2270 sounds really good to me and does retain the good tube like warm sound Marantz is known for with nice tight bass response and articulate midrange and treble clarity. Great head room coming from the huge transformer as well. Wonderful sound from a 70 watt per channel higher powered receiver.
Dimensions  are 18 1/2" wide,16" deep front knobs to back, 7" tall with feet in WC-22 after Market wood case.
Here's a little bit about me leroy3054. My passion for music lead me to restoring old vintage receivers following threads on the internet audiokarma,halo-fi,audiogon,hifiengine to name a few.And reading books,magazines and such.I tip my hat and give thanks to those who contribute to those sites.
I bought this receiver with the intent to fix it then restore it to its former glory and put it up for sale, auction on ebay for someone else to enjoy !
I have a lot of time and money in it and whomever wins it will be getting a lot for their money,Thanks Rick.
As with all 40 plus year old Vintage Electronics this receiver is being auctioned or sold AS-IS. With no warranty but guaranteed to arrive not DOA which means not dead on arrival,( powering on when plugged in) and working as described.
Any future service,maintenance,or repair work will be the responsibility of the buyer new owner. Thanks for understanding.
