Any vintage stereo nerds here?

I was helping at an e-waste even yesterday and came across an old Marantz 2265B. It was sealed up in the original box with the manual and appears to be in great shape. It powers up but I don’t have any speakers to hook up to it. I was thinking about taking it to a repair shop to have it looked over and then listing it for sale. Sounds like they’re pretty sought after. Any advice from the audio gurus on here? Thanks!

Looks like it's in amazing shape. Definitely worth having looked at in my eyes.

There’s definitely a community of enthusiasts that like the older stuff more than the newer ones. If you can find someone reputable, I’d have them clean everything and check the caps in it to make sure you don’t damage something more expensive if you power it up. You can clean the pots yourself, but if you’re not able to check the caps or upgrade them yourself, might as well let them do that as well. That’s an awesome find and looks great.

That was one of the listings that caught my eye! I have somewhat of an electronics background so I’ve thought about taking it apart to give it a cleaning but I think I’ll take it to someone that knows what they’re doing to give it clean bill of health

It's definitely worth it.
