So...just recently bought my first vintage setup and after a few weeks of listening to all my favorite jazz/blues albums, I got the bug bad.
So, local seller is offering a Marantz 2325 with Dahlquist DQ-18s.
His notes: 'receiver works perfectly. No Modification. Was in repair shop 20 years ago for a broken string used to turn tuning Dial. All push buttons and volume controls still work perfectly...and have never been cleaned or repaired. The vineer, wooden cabinet, is in excellant condition with some very minor edge dings. It has not been used since the string repair. It sat on a cupboard shelf for 20 years in my smoke free home.'
Seems like a lot of question marks if its been sitting for 20 years (would obviously go give it a listen before buying...but my noob ears dont necessarily know what to listen for...)
He is asking $800 for the 2325, $400 for the DQ-18s. I was thinking more like $500 for the 2325 and $200-300 for the DQ-18s...any guidance or thoughts?
