Marantz Model 8b Stereo Tube Amplifier Fully Restored

For your consideration, we have the venerable Marantz Model 8b Stereo Tube Amplifier. We picked this unit up from along with several Dynaco amps that an 88 year old gentleman had inherited from his father in law. It had been out of use for at least 30 years, and just sitting in his workshop. This Model 8 had no tubes when we received it. As you can see in the pictures, the paint and finish is quite distressed, and while there are no dents or dings on the unit, it does have two holes drilled into the top centerish rear of the unit, and the Marantz badge is missing from the front. We thoroughly cleaned the unit, but it still  has some serious patina, and is in my opinion one of the coolest pieces to come through our shop. Once we restored the amp, I used it in my home for two years. The finish on the unit, and the optional cage have a beautiful look to them. I am only selling it because I acquired a pair of Marantz Model 5 Mono blocks that we restored, and it makes no sense to keep both.
