Marantz SR 2000 worth fixing?

[OCDAudio]

I had to move on quickly with a replacement but would like to know if this particular model Marantz SR 2000 deserves to be restored. I know what's wrong with it , I did it...fuse blew and I ignored the warning sign and wrapped the fuse w/foil and "poof" beautiful pure white smoke...DUH
Never see this model mentioned but it has been cranked-up Daily for 30 some yrs. And I got it used,free. Marantz Freakin' Lasts...
I moved on, but if it has a market value > repair....

The later Marantz models aren't bad but they're not regarded quite as well as the earlier ones.

Wrapping a fuse in foil is a very bad thing to do. The only exception is if it's a speaker fuse and you're really cranking it. In your case, it's probably burnt out a trace leading to the faulty component...most likely a shorted output device. Many other parts may also have been damaged in the power supply.

IMO it's not worth repairing. Sell it on as a parts unit.

Yeah Thanks...Pretty much figured that,just couldn't find any info on this model sr2000 so had to make sure. You know how it is...like losing an old friend...hate to pull the plug (pun intended). Anyway been dragged into the 21st Century Audiowise...inspired me to go wild w/all this stuff, even re-discovered vinyl.Great now I've got something else to go 'OCD' on... JB

I have one that works great I would give you if you were here, unfortunatley it wouldndt be worth it to you for the cost of shipping.
