Just had to share this bit of luck. Been after a friend of mine for a long time to part with a 1070 he has so he knows my interest in Marantz. Last week he tells me he has an old friend who has a Marantz for sale. A couple of emails later we arrange to meet at his place 45 minutes away and today was the day.
He not only had a 2270 but also a 2275 - with wooden cases non the less and a 6300 Turntable. I immediately knew this was my lucky day. He is the original owner of the 2270/6300 and his Dad owned the 2275 and never serviced or repaired. All have been in storage for 15 years. Dirty, much sign of tobacco smoke on the 2275, some silkscreen gone on the 2275, a few minor dings but should all clean up and present very nicely. The package cost me $700Cdn ( $570US) and I was happy to pay.
Plan is to start with the 2270 next week. DBTest, clean, clean, deoxit and go from there.
Here is a photo.
