Today was a lucky day for me.

Is very dirty, got some scratches, missing antenna and one knob, but still looking good.

Wish me luck in checking.

Whoa! Eek Very nice score! You'll like it for sure! Big Grin

Very Cool. That is a rare model for sure. It is similar to the Marantz PMS-3500 except yours has shortwave and longwave and dual mic input knobs by the VU meter. The PMS-3500 has a midrange knob,where as yours does not. Very cool find for sure. Wink

Thanks guys for your comments and good wishes.

I'm a little disappointed now. Frown
From both channel do not come any signal to the speakers, obviously was blown up. Confused
Speakers work well, I already checked with connecting on another box.

Good point is that is the sound comes from the audio output, when I was connected on audio-in on the amplifier and only when I turn on the radio mode.
When i turn on tape mode(cassette department is working well), with pressing the play button, on the left channel (audio-out) goes nothing, and on the right channel (audio-out) goes some cracking sound.

I hope that I'll repair this soon and easy.
I'll post how is going with repairing action.

Fantastic! Those Marantz's look so rugged! Cool

johnnygto - 2009-03-16 16:35

Looks good, I hope you get it fixed soon. I think the Marantz units are probably some of the best built.
