I have the Marantz 5220 in storage but it doesn't work too well. I need 2 have it restored. I want to couple it with my Marantz 2285 Receiver and my Marantz 6300 turntable which I just had restored both work perfectly. I just replaced all the pilot lights in the receiver. I just need a pair of 1976 Marantz 100 watt @ 8 ohms speakers to complete the system. Does anybody have a pair they want 2 sell??? Send me a note! Would B better if U had the deck playing the background music.
Philips 877 Turntable with Denon DL 160 cartridge.
I love the clarity of the AKAI GX, the warmth of my 2238 and the depth of my KEF´s. I would love to trade my AKAI 709 for this one, although I´m not sure the ferrite heads of the 5220 can compete the glass and crystal heads of the 709...
This is the best-sounding audio cassette deck ever made. Never mind the Aiwa XK-009, Tandberg TCD 3014/A, Nakamichi CR-7 and DRAGON, and Luxman 5K-50 Lab Reference Series, the Marantz Model 5220 beats them acuoustically for a fraction (approx. 1/3rd) of the price in comparable same-condition. With spare parts still available this unit is the King of audio cassette tape decks.

During this time they were designed in the U.S. but why manufactured in Japan ?, ease of manufacturing facilities ?, I know the labor wasn't cheaper.
