Description

✨ Marantz 2226B Vintage Stereo Receiver — Serviced • Partial Recap • Warm-White LED • 3+ Hr Tested 🎶 Overview The Marantz 2226B vintage stereo receiver is a classic 1970s silver-face Marantz featuring Gyro-Touch tuning, dual meters, phono input, and approximately 26 watts per channel. This example has been professionally serviced, carefully cleaned, upgraded with warm-white LED illumination, and completed a 3+ hour bench and listening test prior to shipment. Internal inspection also shows evidence of a prior selective/partial recap performed before current ownership. Multiple electrolytic capacitors appear to be later replacements in the amplifier/power and tuner circuitry, while numerous original capacitors and components remain. This receiver is accurately represented as professionally serviced with a prior partial recap. It is not represented as fully recapped, fully restored, electronically rebuilt, or professionally aligned unless specifically documented. ✨ Cosmetic Condition This Marantz 2226B presents very well for its age. Bright, clean brushed-aluminum faceplate Original lettering and graphics remain intact Knobs and pushbuttons present nicely Dual meters display well Gyro-Touch tuning wheel presents cleanly Warm-white LED illumination installed Original black metal top cover included Exterior carefully cleaned Minor cosmetic marks visible on some faceplate edges/corners Normal age-related wear on the metal cover and rear panel Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of the cosmetic description. 🔧 Service & Testing This receiver has been professionally serviced prior to sale. Service, inspection, and testing include: Professional service Exterior cleaning Controls and switches cleaned/exercised as needed Warm-white LED dial illumination installed Internal visual inspection Prior selective/partial recap evident Multiple electrolytic capacitors appear to be later replacements Replacement capacitors visible in amplifier/power and tuner circuitry Numerous original capacitors and components remain Both channels checked Speaker outputs checked Headphone output checked AM/FM tuner operation checked FM stereo operation checked Meter operation checked Phono input checked AUX input checked Tape functions checked Tone controls and balance checked Loudness, mono, filter, and muting functions checked 3+ hour bench and listening test prior to shipment Partial Recap Disclosure The selective capacitor replacement was performed before current ownership. Internal inspection shows a mixture of older/original components and electrolytic capacitors that appear to be later replacements. For that reason, the receiver is described as partially recapped, not fully recapped. No claim is made that every capacitor, transistor, resistor, or other age-sensitive electronic component has been replaced. 💡 Warm-White LED Illumination The dial illumination has been upgraded to warm-white LED lighting. This provides a clean, classic presentation that is closer to the original Marantz appearance while offering lower heat and longer expected lamp life than conventional incandescent bulbs. 🎛 Features Approximately 26 watts per channel into 8 ohms AM/FM stereo receiver Marantz Gyro-Touch flywheel tuning Signal-strength meter FM tuning meter Phono input AUX input Tape monitor functions Multiple speaker outputs Bass control Midrange control Treble control Balance control Loudness Hi Filter Mono FM Muting Headphone output Classic 1970s silver-face Marantz styling 📦 Included Marantz Model 2226B stereo receiver Original black metal top cover Installed warm-white LED illumination No wood cabinet is included.
