Description

Overview

The Marantz Model 1250 is a solid-state stereo integrated amplifier from the late 1970s, built in Japan during the era Marantz collectors often call the brand's golden period. It pairs a brushed silver faceplate with the blue-illuminated meter panel that made these receivers and amplifiers instantly recognizable, and it is a large, heavy full-size component rather than a compact unit. This particular amplifier was checked and confirmed working by the seller before listing.
