Thanks for your input, I had a nice Marantz stolen in a burglary back in the mid 70's (don't remember what model) and recently got back into the hobby. I like to listen to FM as well as other sources. Have been wanting another Marantz but they are asking crazy prices for them..Marantz 19 has the best tuner. Other good ones; Model 18, 2270, 2325, 4300, 4400. Those are the ones I know but there are others I'm sure.
By the way, that looks like a nice Rick in your pic.. have done some gigging myself , now I'm retired will be doing some thingsMarantz 19 has the best tuner. Other good ones; Model 18, 2270, 2325, 4300, 4400. Those are the ones I know but there are others I'm sure.
Thanks. I actually have the Rick up for sale because I am only playing acoustic now with my new band.By the way, that looks like a nice Rick in your pic.. have done some gigging myself , now I'm retired will be doing some things
The 18 and 19 have essentially the same tuners derived from the model 20 and 20B tuners.
The model 18 tuner section is derived from model 10B (according to Saul Marantz itself),
designed by Sidney Smith and Richard Sequerra, and released in 1967.
Models 19, 20 and 20B are derived from Model 18, and designed by Superscope.

Man, I am tempted, but I have my 250M off being rebuilt and Bob will probably want me to pay for it!Yep, clearing house.
Pick any and invest the rest in a good antenna. They're all decent.
You're going to like that 250M. Bob did mine and I am VERY happy withMan, I am tempted, but I have my 250M off being rebuilt and Bob will probably want me to pay for it!
You're posts pushed me into it, unfortunately I don't think I'll have the time or the desire to enjoy it. My wife's Alzheimer's just took a bad turn, she's held on for almost eight years, and with the things I will have to deal with in the near future will overshadow any Marantz fun. I very much enjoyed the time I have spent here, it helped distract from the situation and gave me some peace. Won't be on as much, so thank you all for all the help and encouragement.You're going to like that 250M. Bob did mine and I am VERY happy with
What kind of antenna do you recommend? That's one thing I haven't done yet.
