  • Very nice tuner! My friend owned S/N 9 since he knew Marantz. The first eight units went to family and closest friends of Marantz. Take good care of it. Also I own a 1 of 4 Sequerra Model 1 tuner specially modified with switchable quartz crystal LO, switchable ultra wide IF ( for distortion measurements) and switchable display blanking for increased S/N ratio.

  • @analogdesigner Thank you! I very much appreciate the additional Model 10 information. I am trying to keep a database of surviving units. I will add S/N 9 to it. The Sequerra Model 1 is an outstanding tuner that I would like to own someday.

  • I'm bidding on one on ebay right now, it's rusty but could be restored

  • @cpgixxer Good luck! If you win it, I will be more than happy to give you pointers on how to restore it. A lot of this rust is superficial and will come right off.

  • @crooner2007 Doubt I will, the price for these units is mental and my pockets aren't THAT deep, although I'd like to own one!

  • @cpgixxer So did you win the thing? Went for $1325 which is not at all unreasonable. With a new glass and elbow grease it should look quite nice.

  • @crooner2007 Nope, highest I went was $800, 1325 was a good price, just hard to justify right now cash wise.

  • @crooner2007 I'll wait till another one surfaces. On a good note, I got my 2235 fired up last night. Will make a vid tonight after I relamp it.

  • @crooner2007 Você esta de parabéns nunca vi um Marantz tao bem conservado

    Marcelo Brazilian.

  • @MARCELO56090 Obrigado muito. Este modelo 10 é a peça central de minha coleção.

  • Number 99 is for sale on ebay for 17 grand right now, crazy!!!

  • @cpgixxer Yeah, I saw that! Crazy money. I'm glad I have mine. Probably pass it on to my kid. John Curl owns a Model 10 also, and he was quoted as saying it was the finest piece of vintage tube electronics ever. I tend to agree!

  • @crooner2007 Nice and all but 17K??? I could buy a nice boat for that kind of money.

  • @cpgixxer I know or a brand new car!

  • @crooner2007 Or party like like Charlie Sheen for an hour!

  • @cpgixxer lol

  • Cool! Once upon a time, I was contacted by a fellow over in San Francisco who owned a Mode 10. He decided to clean the dial with Windex and you know what happened, eh? So, I rescued him with a set of fresh dial glass from my personal stash at that time. The guy nearly did a back flip at that!

  • @Marantzguy I contacted John via DIYaudio website where he posts frequently. He says his Model 10 works great except for aging filter caps which is normal for a unit this old. He stated on one of his threads that the Model 10 is the finest piece of vintage electronics he has owned. High praise indeed!
