Servicing it could be trivial, from your description, it sounds like there may be little, if anything wrong with it.The typical problems are the 500vdc secondary on the power transformer opening, (used to help power the scope), and the usual bad caps, most often the electrolytics, they dry up with time.) The good thing about the electrolytics in the older equipment is they were very good quality, and often are still good. Also very common on the older Marantz's is the lettering on the dial glass falling off, that has happened to both my 18 and previously my 10b.
I checked last night, my scope is dead, but after measuring it, the 500vdc is still alive. I will have to find out what is wrong.
If you ever think about selling, let me know.
