Don't know the quality of the unit, but I can't imagine any tuner in the condition described
being worth that kind of money. At least not for its performance and sound quality anyway. Does anyone know if this is some kind of rare find, like a lost DiVinchi or something?

You hit it on the head: market value is determined by more than performance. Also condition, rarity, and collector enthusiasm for the brand.
That thing sure is beautiful, though...

Yes it is. It sure would be fun to play with. Too bad there is not much on the air anymore worth listening to. At least not within range of my location.

Note: it's a Model 10, NOT a 10B. Uber-rare, but too rich for my blood.
No, there's someone ASKING $35,000 for a Marantz model 10. There's a large difference. Let me know when it sells.
Scott 4310 tuner....Is it really that good?
Yes, it is really that good and then some. I'm the one who purchased this tuner and I was very happy to get it for that price. It's been completely restored, the MPX/Mono relay coil has been by-passed for significant sonic improvement (I didn't actually think it was possible to improve on the sonics, but Piere at Mapleshade assured me of this and he was right). By comparison, all other tuners run a very distant second to the 4310 in every conceivable way.

marantz for $35,000.00
It appears that the owner has adjusted the asking price to a more reasonable level, only $6,700.00 O.B.O. A fare sum considering it's only 1 of 100 (or perhaps less than that since most of the original 100 were returned for the functional 10b with the circuit correction).

That sounds great! And welcome to AK. :thmbsp:
