The Marantz 8, in all of its file cabinet sheet metal glory was definitely cost constrained. The high PIV diodes back then were not like they are now. Getting a diode to stand up reliably to high voltage was hyper-expensive back then. The Model 8B, was first offered for sale in 1961 or '62, for $250. $250 in 1962 has the same buying power as $1,973.04 in 2014.
