If I had kids, and they did that to my Marantz 7 (not that I own one) ... :tears: I'd be pretty sad until I figured out how to fix it safely.

The seller should've tried to remove those carefully first, I bet they'll cost him a few hundred off the sale price.

See his 10b too, the poor thing (nice condition otherwise though!):

Ahh hell, I have a 5-year-old who is well-versed in the art of peeling stickers off. Anything. It can be done, trust me.

Certainly pissed-off my 14-year-old when he removed the labels off 40-some GameBoy games!

Why did you assume "kids" did that? :scratch2: Looks like a neatly done job to me, not randomly applied stickers. I'd guess it was on purpose by the owner at a younger age when that might have still been "cool".

You make an interesting point :scratch2: -- considering the early-80s sticker apperance, perhaps the ownership transferred then to the son or daughter of the original owner, who then pimped it out a bit. I suppose the value at that time was nowhere near what it is now, making it a less appalling prospect than it would be today.

That seller's ebay name is "thatnghiep" means he is unemployed. He probably needs money for dough.

You'd think they could have at least PAINTED the knobs instead of just applying those pesky stickers. Or better yet - engraved something onto the face plate.
