Gilbert Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 ATTENTION SHOPPERS!! I stubbled into a electronic repair shop just down the road from my house, and just about wigged-out at all the vintage Mac and Marantz gear this guy was packing. Tons of stuff. 1- MC275 (vintage) 2- MC30's 1- MC60 Whew-- MC240's, even pair that are Industrial Grade. AND LOTS LOTS MORE! He's got 6 or 7 shelves/storage-racks of vintage Marantz. He's even go some Marantz tuner (serial No. 1), that he claims is their original first tuner prototype. He's also got vintage Scott, Fisher, Luxman, Thoren, and some fancy Technices Turntable with a hands off sign. I'll post a picture of some of his storage racks later, because I forgot to camera and left it at the office. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Gil, I'm sending you email regarding the 30's, for a fellow forum member that I know wants them. Email forthcoming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Damn if he's got the Marantz tube pre (7T?) count me in. Wow! Let the feeding frenzy begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmjrt Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I'd sure love to hear about the Scott, Fisher, and Harman Kardon stereo amps/integrateds if he had any for sale. Wish I had a ton of money to spend on MC and Marantz gear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 JEEZ, Gilbert any chance to get a stock list from the guy? how do you think his prices will be? for the 240 for example? I am very interested in hearing about the Marantz stuff as well! nice find! tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Thebes, I'm pretty sure he mentioned his having a 7T, not positive though. He just rattled out a bunch of numbers off the top of his head. I was draggin my chin. But know this, the man knows what he has. I kinda think is prices are fair, at least cheaper than what this stuff typically sells for on ebay. The Mac stuff anyway, don't know much about Marantz other than they made killer equipment. One of the 240's is just gorgeous. As for the single MC60, I am scarfing her up. Any hooo, I'll go to the office sometime tomorrow and get that picture I had.

Guy Landau Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Gilbert, Can you please check if he's got Marantz 2 and/or 9 monoblocks? I'm even interested in single units. I'm also looking for a Marantz 7 tube preamp. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Oh hell, here's the guys name and number. Just give him a shout yourselfes. He's a pretty cool cat, his name is David Miller, owner of "SpeakerWorks", in Tulsa,OK. I warned Dave and told him I was going to tell some buddies of mine on a web-forum that would go wild for some of his gear. So call away..... 1-800-526-8879 or 918-664-6299 PLEASE KEEP PAWS AWAY FROM THE MC60's. I want them for a very special friend...ME. If he has something that your interested in, and want some photo's or a better look at the item, give me call and I'll be happy to get it for you. But you may have to wait a day, even though his shop is on the way home from the office. ---ATTACK!_--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Very glad to hear he's savvy about what he's got, eliminates a lotta moral qualms right there. Damn I'm broke but that's the American way. I'll call him tomorrow. Listen up people, I get first shot at the Marantz pre. Anybody wants to argue I'll sick tthe Twins on you. (not as pleasurable as it might seem).

NOSValves Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Well Thebes if you get the Preamp it really should be tested to confirm it works properly with the amplifier it is going to be used with Hey !! Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Here a pic of just some of his Maratnz gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Here's a pic of some of the Mac gear. He says that the pair of MC240's with the Grey Transformers are Industrial Grade...as in Heavy Duty. Aren't you glad I had the office camera.

garymd Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I see a 7C AND a 7T!!! He's also got my old Pioneer CTF-9191 cassette deck there. Unfortunately, it sounds like this guy knows what it's all worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 7c! Couldn't remember which was which. If it's to steep for me I will let all of of you know immediately. Not trying to hog things, but asking for a little consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
