Controls & Signal Path Restoration

All potentiometers (volume, bass, mid, treble, balance) and selector switches flushed and lubricated for smooth and noise-free operation.

Input and output connectors (RCA, speaker terminals, headphone jack) cleaned and reconditioned for full signal transfer.

Phono preamp checks for correct RIAA equalization and gain stability.

Tuner Alignment & Audio Path Testing

FM/AM tuner realigned for maximum sensitivity and accurate dial tracking.

Multiplex stereo decoder adjusted for precise stereo imaging and channel separation.

Signal-to-noise ratio and frequency response verified across tuner, AUX, and phono paths.

Illumination & Aesthetic Detailing

Dial and meter lamps were replaced with warm-white bulbs, producing the signature Marantz blue glow.

Dial glass and internal diffusers cleaned for consistent lighting.

Aluminum faceplate and knobs hand-polished, lettering preserved.

Wood cabinet (WC-style) gently cleaned and restored to natural luster.

Oscilloscope Waveform Test (Documented in Photos)

Using a Hantek DSO2D15 digital oscilloscope, both left and right channels were tested with a 1kHz sine wave under load conditions:

Waveform results:

Smooth, symmetrical sine waves with no clipping or distortion.

Left and right outputs show nearly identical amplitude, confirming excellent channel balance.

No crossover distortion or harmonic interference detected.

Visual evidence:

Test photos (see listing) display steady dual-channel waveform curves, ensuring electrical accuracy and full functionality.

This confirms the amplifier operates within Marantz factory tolerances, ready for long-term, distortion-free performance.

Final Listening & Endurance Test

A multi-hour playback session was performed using reference tracks and varying inputs (Phono, AUX, Tuner).

Sound was tested for tonal accuracy, dynamic control, and noise floor.

Both channels remained stable and balanced after extended operation — proof of clean power delivery and reliability.

Result:

Exceptional performance with deep, rich bass, smooth midrange, and crystal-clear highs — the hallmark of Marantz engineering.

All tests confirm this unit performs at or above original 1970s specifications, ready for audiophile enjoyment.
