Marantz 8B

Description

Marantz 8B Amplifier. Tube circa. appx 1966. This came into our shop on a trade. Not an expert on these but it's in fantastic condition and sounds incredible. I had Raul Hernandez of Aztec Electronics in Murrieta, CA. completely go through this amp. Raul is an ex-Hughes (Howard) Aircraft tech from way back SoCal and knew exactly what to do with the Marantz. He found two capacitors that were leaking in the inverter and replaced them. No issues with the rest of the amp. This specs on this 8B are right on. The inside is just fantastic and doesn't look to have been messed with. Beautiful hand-wired work and super clean. The tubes look to me like they "might" be original. Amp is said to be a second owner and spent most of its time in Japan. Either way this amp hasn't seen alot of moving or miles. I have a few videos of the testing if needed and more photos of the tube testing. All the boxes have been checked on this 8B. It's heavy. Very heavy. I would prefer the buyer arrange shipping and packing. But I will pack it if there's no other way. Sells to the US lower 48 only.
