Oh, that's just normal NW grundge!
Grows on everything here.

You would think they'd try to wipe it down before ebaying it.

:lmao:

I've seen the European Black Faced Marantz, is this like that? NW Grunge Face?

I'd take it for $50 if I was in the neighborhood (and had good gloves).

In the antique trade this is called a "rich, untouched patina".

I asked him he'd take five minutes to connect a pair of speakers to see if sound came out and he replied he was too busy.

In the auto parts business, we called it "Protective Coating".


:lmao:

I am close, I wonder if I know him.

Definitely owned by a smoker at some time.

What the heck guys! Have we all turned into wussies? I have known TV repairmen all my life and they lived and are living long fruitful lives without gloves and masks.
I smell paranoia.

the part that concerns me is that he turned it on and that is the only guaranttee.

What kind of idiot goes to all the trouble of creating an ebay ad and not bothering to see if something works. It would take him less than 5 minutes to hook up a set of speakers.

I am 99% certain he did hook up speakers and it didn't work. (The 1% hold back is for the possibility that he is insane.)

It's a $50 receiver guys, and based upon closed auctions, he's not gonna get it.

Well, maybe if it was clean and tested...

1% !?!?!? You've never been here, have you?

Man, this thread is fun.

 

[Luthierman]

All my stuff looks like that. It is probably because I use my mouth to adjust everything, and sometimes I have been eating.

What concerns me most is the three dimensional, er, chunk above the "104." In the second pic is has a definite reddish hue. I'm just wondering if medical attention is in order for the seller.
