Not seeing any Marantz components...
Looks like a Pilot model 602 receiver, definitely tubes. A Garrard RC88 tt. I can't make out what's on the left but certainly interesting looking gear, likely tubes possibly mono? Speaker almost looks like a Utah Celesta driver. That's all I got. Pilot is stereo el84s.
I didn't really either, the power amp is mostly hidden though, what's the M on the speaker?
I also didn't know if the tuner was a old tube marantz.
I'v been wanting a true mono system either buy trying to build something by myself or a quality console that's custom and can be worked with.

The tuner appears to be this - which is also an amp.
The left side of the console appears to be a reel to reel on the bottom and...who knows what up top...

Your on the money here, and the black disc on the amp side looks like the same pilot logo in it.
Very close but this one is just slightly different, but probably a Garrard

Going to go out on a limb here. Could that entire left cabinet be a reel to reel with all the preamp and input stuff in the top section of the cabinet?
The amp side has a lot going on, it can't just be a power amp. Looking online I see some Pilotone's
like a Pilotone Amplifier AA-903

No limb at all, there is a lot going on over there just to be a power amp, something is on the bottom shelf, could be a very old r2r or another turntable. That shelf looks like it slides out.
I have a feeling this is some kind of Pilotone/ Pilot Radio Corp, console and might be factory built. Looking at the amp side with all the controls though the wood, silk screen printing has to be factory. They had power amp /mixers with phono RIAA staging, as well as PA amps. This cabinet has an access slot for other inputs at the front. The cabinet is built in three pieces, we have a stereo receiver and turntable on the right, with a mono full range corner speaker, this doesn't make much sense. Then the other side, some kind of other integrated amp and something on the bottom..
The top center round dial is a pickering label for setting different record eq settings.
The bottom unit is more than likely a reel to reel.
i/o stuff?
Cool thanks
Yeah that's what I think, might be a old mono reel
I/o = input /output
Now to figure out the reel to reel
I wish they would email me back, sent the first one this morning, another around 4 today.Now to figure out the reel to reel
