Vintage Beauty Factor? Marantz 7c

Posted by mark.korda@myfairpoint.net (A) on December 12, 2016 at 08:34:58

Hi,
If your on this forum you probably wouldn't mind finding or owning an early 60's Marantz 7c preamp. I wouldn't mind finding one in an old barn. Maybe they could (stage) that scene on American Pickers and find one for 20 bucks and give you guys an elevation in your blood pressure. No Viagra needed.
Well it must be the beauty factor in vintage audio that predominates that grabs most of us. Maybe it's the build factor and pride that goes with the Hi-fi object.
I say this because there is a copy of the Marantz 7c's circuit in a bare bones box and plain Jane knobs but with superior jacks,caps, resistors,switches ect...that if it is true should out perform an older stock 7c without a total replacement of parts like some of us old guys!
If my copy/paste does not bring up the link, go on ebay and type in Marantz 7c preamp kit. It costs a 130 dollars average, there are a few sites with this preamp. If it does not maybe one of you could post the site....thanks in advance....from all of us.
I just wanted to see what your ideas are.
Mike Samra, move very slowly now....you know the innards of a McIntosh better than anyone in upper state NY. But how much of your audio dollar goes into the beautiful dark glassed chassis with those glowing luring Mac colored lights to match?....Hope your backs better Mike.
To me I think the H.H. Scott tube tuners have that certain elan, I learned that one in yesterdays crossword.
Here goes.....I'm going to hit the paste button.....thanks Mark Korda.http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/112218810752?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
