Now...I know there's a Black PANEL European version of the 2385....but....in '75 or '76 when the mid-70's range was introduced, the early 2385's had a black tuning DIAL and meters similar to the 2330 and the rest of the mid-70's range.
Has anyone come across one of these or are they (..along with the 2140 Tuner) another Marantz catalog mystery..??
It's interesting to note that when the range was changed over, the 2385 remained the 2385 with NO "B" added but the dial changed to silver from black to match the next range, so I'm assuming internally it was identical to the black dial version.
I found this catalog image a while back...but I've never actually seen a black dial version for sale or any photo's of one.....
