Handed over by the postman today my Marantz PMS-3040--Gold Series....
This is as close as I am probably ever going to get to what it was like to open up a NOS box...
In the original box--with the original packing--owners manual, warranty, Marantz Q-tips for head cleaning, a small alligator clip antenna extender..and a Marantz Gold series brochure that opens up into a poster displaying the gold series line of boomboxes....
The box itself is a Smedium but with big box features such as independent bass and treble controls, normal/cro2/metal selector, a Marantz sort of stereo matrix feature, radio signal strength or limit indicator in red ..
Everything works perfectly and there was hardly any clean-up involved...the seller advised this unit sat in the box in a U-store facility and was purchased at auction when the owner failed the rent requirement....
For a box this size it is very powerful and full sounding...no problem using it on a deck or a patio--no thumping bass of course, but enough bass for a good full sound...
There was very little on the Net on this specific model and very little on the Marantz Gold Series as a whole...I was really pleased with this purchase and am on the hunt for a viable example of the physically larger, PMS 3020 box in this line.....
