[Marantz 2500 Receiver]

A relative of mine bought this while he was in the service overseas in the 1970s. It's the 80-pound monster with the oscilloscope.

He doesn't even know if it works, and, being something of a hoarder, he is so far unwilling to let me have a look at it for possible restoration.

I'm still working on him; he may give in.

Anybody have experience with this receiver?  I've read they are amazing and valuable, but I would rather get the straight dope from someone here, if possible.

Many thanks.

This is so cool. I was on the very same project in August 2020. Same speakers, same crossover solution.

Mine were free. A guy posted on the Nextdoor site that he was putting them out on the curb for heavy trash if nobody claimed them, and I did, fast. He even included the surround repair kit that he had never used. What a guy.

These have the vinyl veneer, and they were a bit beat up. The grilles were hopeless, so I replaced them with something not at all original looking, but I like them. I had never done a surround repair, so it took some time to get up the nerve to start, but it worked, although I was pretty messy with the glue.

The sound is awesome, and I look forward to the livestreams of our Houston Symphony this season.

Yours look really good.
