Bonzo Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I have a beautiful and completely re-capped/restored Marantz 1060. This is an early model, four digit serial number, with engraved champagne face plate and extra internal bracing. It has a custom made and flawless walnut case made by Cartwright’s Cabinets in SO Michigan. All electrolytic capacitors were replaced with quality Nichicon, Wima and Elna caps depending on location and function. Various troublesome transistors and resistors were replaced. New thermal compound applied to the output transistors. All functions and internal components were cleaned and lubed. I have all the old parts that will be included. It works without any issues and sounds awesome. The only cosmetic issue is someone, not me, tried to shove a polarized plug into one of the auxiliary outlets. The top is a bit cracked. I don’t have the original pre/main jumpers but installed AudioQuest jumpers. I hate to part with it but I have too much gear and other priorities. Sorry, I am road kill on the modern devices. I haven’t quite figured out how to reduce the size of the pictures. I can send additional pictures to interested members. I’m asking $550 for it but will consider reasonable offers. This is for local pickup in Redding, CA. I am willing to travel a bit for the right deal. Any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Kind of figured out the picture gig. Another pic of the faceplate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 If anyone is looking for a very nice integrated at a great price, re capped and with a nice wood case, this is a bargain. And, engraved champagne face....very sought after and collectible. Excellent, GLWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajoker2c Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 If you decide to ship I'd love to hook this beauty up to the Music Hall 25.3 I got from you. Still playing beautiful music here Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hello Steve, Glad to hear the Music Hall is still serving you well. I got a couple of quotes for packing, shipping and insurance for another member. To the mid-west it was between $75 to $100 which I think is a bit ridiculous. Also, I would hate for this beautiful amp to get damaged. Short of using a nuclear containment vault, they can damage just about anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I've had Marantz fever lately. Trying to control myself here.....The Model 140 amp I just bought was restored with the same exact caps you mentioned above. Thing sounds fricken amazing.That 1060 has a boatload of respect. Man, I'm thinking hard about this one.....Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I packed one myself last year and it was 45 cdn to send it to central Canada. If no one bites in the US send me a PM and we can work something out. I do want it.

Bonzo Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Sounds good Steve. I have another member who is interested. We are going to talk tomorrow and I will let you know what happens. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonzo Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 I just want to reaffirm that I will NOT ship the Marantz. If I don’t sell it locally, I will keep it. FYI, I will be in Southern Oregon early next week and plan to go to the Sacramento and the San Francisco area in the near future.

Emile Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Had one of those ... sold it about 6 months ago and replaced it with a VTA ST70 tube amp. Still regret that decision. The 1060 is one of the best sounding ones around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 The Marantz 1060 is no longer available. I have come to my senses and decided to keep it. Thanks to everyone who posted and expressed interest. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veaux Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I love my 1060. I had too many subs going and it bounced off of a six foot high shelf. I reconnected the speakers and plugged in a new pair of ICs and it still worked perfectly. I would have bought yours if you would have shipped, but I’m glad you’re keeping it. It’s beautiful and they sound amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
