Nice score, Pete. With items like this, eBay can be hit or miss. I’m glad it worked out for you.

Pete,
Very nice! The Marantz 150 looks perfect in your setup. I owned a Marantz receiver way back in the day and loved it. They are beautiful components. I hope it brings you a lot of enjoyment.

Very nice. Have always appreciated the 'blue' light Marantz gear. My tuners (am also an FM listener) are all vintage. The Accuphase, Sony & Yamaha T-85 have all been recapped and aligned and are great performers.

That Marantz is super-sweet, and looks right at home with the rest of the system! I think every fine system deserves a good FM tuner ... or a great one.

This photo brings good memories. I once owned the smaller version of that Yamaha receiver (the CR-820) and loved it. Such a classic design and very well built.

Great looking tuner, Marantz gear from that era is timeless IMO. Enjoy!
