The serial number is 517 out of 1000. It is a serial number considered a famous instrument among famous instruments, though it does not reach the two-digit range. This is a masterpiece within 1000 that has been thoroughly restored. The sound is very distinctive. The surface plate is also clean with no scratches found. Even after 7 years, the gold color is strong, making it hard to find within 1000. Since the original sound is designed to be thicker, the goodness of the Marantz 7 is amplified. The resulting sound is thick and soft, yet has a core, conveying utmost comfort.
This Marantz 7 is made with a hammer-tone green that will make enthusiasts cry with joy. You can see the confusion of Marantz's founding period, where only one side is brown. The full plate is also thin, about 2/3 of the later models. Did this contribute to the good sound of the early Marantz 7? We don't know. You can see that the knob is also rounded, without corners, and is the original knob of the very early type 7.
All Bumblebee capacitors have been replaced. The number of replacements reaches 12. Please be assured that only those that have passed leak inspection are used. Almost all electrolytic and aluminum capacitors have been replaced with original ones. The volume is complete with 2 original Clarostat potentiometers.
All original Telefunken ECC83 tubes with rib plates are attached. We also check the balance and select well-matched vacuum tubes. The Telefunken tubes with rib plates produce a cool and pleasant sound.
