1978 Marantz Brochure

[Grainger49]

I have some sad scans and image posting.

Your work is really nice. And it is nice to see these units again.

Wow, that's very cool! Did you notice that it says all walnut cabinets are shipped unassembled? What's that about?

Those appear to be the three piece cabinets, they cover the sides and top, but not the bottom. I find them considerably more attractive than the one piece cabinets.

IIRC, and I may not, the cabinet had a metal grill over the back. It was inside the cabinet when shipped.

Check this out

I have several "Marantz" saved searches on Flea Bay, and this came up yesterday.....

It is the same brochure! (No, this is not my listing. I'm too much of a pack rat / geek / sentimental sap to part with my brochure). It will be interesting to see if anyone bids on it.

If anyone bids, does that mean I have officially saved all viewers on this forum that amount? :lmao:

I bid on it!

I just got a PM from a gentleman in France that is using my scans to add to an archive created on his website. Here is the site:

We are, afterall, on the world wide web! :yes:

Why is there no archive or sticky thread of user manuals, service manuals, and brochures and such on this forum? It seems like it would be a great resource for users. I have noticed other manufacturer forums (Sansui) on AK have archives or databases. It would be very handy for DIY repairs and for general info. Anyone have any thoughts?

Apparently the wc-22 was no longer used by '78.

Here is a scan of the original accessory order form that came with my gear, with all the wood cabinet numbers and model numbers.

Don't you wish you could still get the wood cabinets for $29.95?:yes:

Notice the references to the fairly unknown model 2140. Apparently it requires the DLB-1 adaptor aswel..

Wow, that's very cool! Did you notice that it says all walnut cabinets are shipped unassembled? What's that about?

This should clarify it. Pictures come from an eBay auction a while ago.

So the brochure like this just sold on Flea Bay for over $20. Wow. I should have grabbed a whole grip of them when I had the chance back in the day!

I am going to ask if Any of the older(not age guys) members have a listing of the Marantz cabinets both the sieve style and the 3 pc units. I just started to have the gromments for the 3 pc produced for the cabinets that are still in good shape .the original platic were maybe good for one or two mounting and then they broke,with the popularity of cabinets again I am doing what I can on the accessories with froumnent produced in 3D Prnters in ABS platic and 4.7mm Marantz style screws. Anyone have a scan of all the 70A cabinets?did not mean to pick on you Granger 49.you are knowlageable. Pat b. Audiogeek58
