Marantz 2325

I am on the verge of scoring a 2325 for quite a bit less then what it's worth!
A local CL'er responded to my response (I was the first one), and said yes. Arrangement of pickup and payment were in my response.

I'll update as I know!

Well, he just called back! He says, "It needs a little TLC."
I'm like oh oh.
"A few bulbs out and scratchy and maybe a bit dusty."
"It also has the case for it"
"I bought it thirty years ago, and it's really heavy!"
He's even gonna drop it off tomorrow AM.
I think I have a nice score on my plate.

WOW! That is a very nice receiver, and a beautiful one, with the case. Congratulations! Looking forward to the details!

You better pick that up. The 2325 is my dream receiver, and the case alone is worth a good bit. You'll love it, get us some pics ASAP.

Here are some pics!
$200 for a amazing beauty. A few lamps out, and the scratchiness.... That's it.
The case is fabulous! !!

More pics. This thing is in GREAT shape. I had a hard time getting to that last lamp. I have to order some of the "stereo" "FM" style lamps anyways, so I'll wait until then.

I'm so excited!!!!!

That one is exceptional...the case alone is probably worth what you paid for the whole receiver. I think that's WC 123 for the 2325, and they're kinda rare, yours is really nice. Your 2325 is definitely worth the money for a restoration. Use all that money you saved!

I'm pretty sure it's the WC-43... I'm not that sure tho.
(an added bonus you get to see Sheena that Cat's head on the left)

I already swapped all the lamps minus a few I have to order. Half of me wants to sell it to potentially make some nice money. The other half wants to keep it for 30+ years. Who knows.
Tomorrow, I'll be giving it a nice once over on the faceplate. I'll hook up and double check all inputs. Just checked phono today.
