Original Description:
For sale is a mostly original Marantz 8B in good condition. I purchased this from the family of the original owner many years ago. Unit was working at that point, but unfortunately when the unit was sent to me, the son of the owner somehow broke two of the terminals for the output to the speakers. With a lot of projects, I was never able to work on finding a replacement terminal or barrier strip. The unit will not be ready to use until some kind of solution to this issue is found, but ...the good news is there are many options here. The unit went through servicing around 20 years ago and some parts were replaced as you can see from the photo. The work is clean and if it were important for you to keep the unit original, this work could all be reversed (I don't recommend this). Another thing I noticed is that two of the RCA inputs were replaced, but this appear to be an old repair. Cosmetically, the unit is nice, but there is some paint wear, scratches, and scuffs as well as dried glue around where the logo is stuck to the front of the unit. This unit was clearly cared for, but also well-loved. I am listing the tube cage separately because it did not come with this unit, but it appears to at one point have used a tube cage. To conclude, this amplifier will need to be serviced before use. The terminal issue will need to be remedied and the amplifier will need to be checked over to be sure it is ready for use. I do guarantee that the transformers are good, but beyond that, the amplifier is sold as-is. There will be no refunds or returns in any case.
Terms Please message me if you have any gear for sale but don’t want to deal with listing! I purchase single items as well as collections. You do not need to live near me. I have purchased over 1, 000 pieces of equipment for my own collection and to restore. I sell mostly vintage electronics. As such, these items are old and typically out of spec from when they were new. I do my best to test these items and make sure they work before they’re sent out, but I do not guarantee or represent that they will meet the original specifications. I may not even be able to test them, in which case assume that they don’t work. However, there are times where I may miss something. If that happens, I hope that you would agree that the most efficient way to take care of an issue is if you simply message me before opening a case or doing anything else. Selling items on eBay is a side effect of collecting vintage electronics. I need an outlet for these items online, so I have no reason to send you something that doesn’t work unless I’ve noted that it doesn’t. This is not my day job and I am not here to try to make a quick buck. I will do my best to represent all major cosmetic damage to any items that I sell, but when you purchase something from me, expect minor scratches and nicks unless I’ve noted that the item is free of them. I pack items correctly. I know what it takes to get an item to you safely. As a result, you may see that the shipping quote shown is higher than you’re accustomed to. Rest assured, I lose money on just about every item I ship when packing materials are considered, but if I don’t, I will absolutely refund you the difference. You will NOT have to ask for it. I will do my best to get items out within a few days, however there are instances where that is not possible. Please see the handling time to know how long it may take for me to ship an item. The policies here are difficult in this regard because these vintage items in particular need to be moved and packed carefully. I do not want to damage anything by rushing. Buying the proper materials may also take time. I am not as fast as Amazon, but I guarantee I’ll pack better. With this all being said, if there is any reason that you don’t feel that you can leave FIVE stars in every category, please reach out to me before leaving any feedback other than positive with all five stars in every category. FOR EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM CUSTOMERS:The program will not allow me to ship tubes. If you purchase an item with tubes in them, the TUBES CANNOT BE INCLUDED. I can send them to you directly, but they will not be included with your shipment. Please message me to work this out.
