i was in my garage today when i came across this old unit, i think it plays 8 track(sp?) and radio. it said MARANTZ on it. i dont really know about any home audio stuff really so i was wondering if this was a good unit? it had knobs for mids, high, low, etc..

here are some pics:

I own a Marantz receiver as part of my vintage hi-fi system. These receivers were state of the art back then when Marantz was king. they still make great products if you can find them.

hey i was wondering if you would like to sell it because im looking to do a DIY home audio system and i need a decent reciever.

its really my parents' unit, so ill have to ask them.. i really dont know any info on this so i wouldnt know an avg price for something like this.. anyone have a legit price?

I would say just do an internet search and check ebay for prices. I don't think there is a true "market" for this equipment, so it may require some research.

i have no idea what its worth but i think it would be pretty cool to have.

If it is still working, I would ask no less than 100 dollars. I paid over 400 for my receiver, but it was in mint condition. If I were you, I would keep it. maintain it, and enjoy it. Those old receivers had really clean signals.
