ajoker2c Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have someone very close to me that is offerring this console for 150.00. I have a Dual 1019 and a Marantz 2225 that I would think be nice to replace the dual 1110 and old tuner in it for my bedroom. I know nothing of reel to reel and would remove that for storage purposes. Does it sound like a reasonable plan? or anyone thinking its not worth effort. I haven't seen it in person yet, but the person seeling states it's in excellent condition (just not sure of condition of equipment inside but will replace anyways. any thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 That looks like a great deal for $150.00. However, equipment that old usually needs a refresh by a competent tech to make is safe to use and to restore max. performance. Still, I think the reel-to-reel is probably worth a few hundred alone. I say if you don't mind shipping some units out for refurbishing and cleanup, to go for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Marantz I can put in bottom shelf after getting it cleaned and back to spec (but runs fine right now). The reel to reel I have no idea about, so once I buy it I'll do the homework on the model. I have some rough looking rb61's that need new woofers and thought I can place them in speaker area for a nice little bedroom set up.
