Marantz 2270 w/black faceplate

[Jenkster]

I just picked up this gorgeous 2270 from AK'er and my friend slopat. This may be a case where it actually looks better than it sounds? OK it sounds wonderful and was completely restored by AK'er Fairlane who did a fantastic job!

I have seen pictures but this is the first one I have gazed upon in person. I was and am blown away!

Anyone have their Marantz adorned in one of these face plates? If so, let' see um.

You guys are killing me! I have a 2270, a 2275 and a 2325 that I really want to keep original, but every time I see one of these pics I'm tempted to pull the trigger. Now you up and show all three in one thread. How's a guy supposed to hold out in the face of those beauties??

Be strong, Steve.....they're tempting me too and I love how my 2275 looks and sounds.

I picked up a 2275 unit from TMZ2 and love the look like know other and love the sound. Here's a few pics there Tony's hope you don't mind and thanks !

The good news is, it is not a permanent modification. You can always put the silver face back on but, why would you? Beautiful receivers guys!

Just get another set in black. Problem solved...

None of 'em mine...

Here's a couple small ones awaiting their new black lacquer cases. They were both instances of necessity - the original faceplates were terrible.
Sorry for the poor photos...

I have been contemplating for months about doing the black face and black gloss case on my 4400 for main listening area, would go good with some other black components in a nice rack with a new black tt , I think the WAF is better with the black, but I will certainly have the silver stack playing elsewhere !!

 

[freQ(*)Oddio]

Some of the Marantz with the black face and a case look like a new $10k component lol. You may not find a nicer looking vintage receiver, and with the aluminum knobs dammm!!!

 

[freQ(*)Oddio]

A few minuets time and I could be looking at this? Pretty tempting......

 

[Dingman]

Bucknerator already posted one but I'll play anyway, Here's mine...
LOL, just realized I need to find another faceplate nut, I twisted the top off that one.

Stunning with a piano black case.

You guys are killing me! Haha

AK'er TMZ2 is the only guy who makes them as far as I know. Everybody else charges a premium for his product. Tony is good to deal with.
