Up for sale is a beautiful piece of audio history: a Vintage Marantz 1550 AM/FM Stereophonic Receiver. This unit has been a reliable part of my setup and is now ready to bring warm, rich sound to its next owner.
It was professionally serviced and the dial lamps were upgraded to LEDs a few years ago, ensuring the classic Marantz glow is bright and reliable for years to come. It has been tested and is in full working order.
Condition & Details
Serviced & LED Upgrade: Received professional service a few years ago, including an LED upgrade for the dial face for a brighter, cooler-running display.
Fully Tested: Powered on and tested. All inputs and functions are working as expected. (Note: Seller should specify if the AM/FM tuner holds a station well).
Cosmetics: In great condition for its age (1978). Shows minimal signs of wear consistent with a well-cared-for vintage item. Please review the photos carefully for the exact condition.
Front Face & Wood Case: The wood veneer case is in good shape, and the iconic Marantz front panel is clean and legible.
