of course ill update you as soon as i know-i dont want to excite myself but im thinking rx-6400?rx-a2?or even maybe an rx c100 or c200? we will see!!!!! its come from a clearance of a really old,massive old auction house that ive been to before myself and its wall to wall old electronics,modern and old,so i cant say what its condition will be like and wether it will work-all gary says is its big,heavy and loaded!boy i cant wait!!!!!

The word Massive would make you think of only a few Panny's and you named the two at the top of the list, I'm excited for you.

 

[THAFUZZ]

I'm excited for you too. Can't wait for a pic.

could be a platinum collection 90's box - ct9xx

I thought about that too but those boxes are far from massive unless it's being judged against mini's.

MASSIVE is subjective

My guess is the RX-C300.

My guess is the RX-C300.

That would be a good score.

Well guys sorry for the delay!ok,so i dont know what the response is to this.....its not a national panasonic at all.....its a marantz ph52L in gold!!!!!its just like the jvc pc5,but twice as heavy as that!!!!!so,here we go-the deck is jammed and the speakers are going to need re foaming so no pic at the mo sadly!if anyone has a representative pic of it please feel free to post it-i have it in bits in prep for me,or an electrician to sort the woofers out!so watch this space!!!!!

hey my Marantz brother, welcome to the club

the ph52 is a ph32 (see my avatar) with a digital tuner instead of the analog type

see here for a pic of a ph52 & amp specs etc.

hey andy.....thanks so very much for your words and the topic you created before i will have a good read through all that!my major problem is the woofers will need re foaming as at low volume they are distorting-but turn her up and it goes away somewhat!plus the tape deck isnt jammed but one key has been pushed inwards and upwards and is stopping the deck from operating!so how rare is the gold one andy?i absolutely love it though,and hell brother,im a marantz fan now!!!!

 

[Andy_from_Perth]

glad it was of some help.

this is the 'black' version, but im sure the gold ones are more common.

ive still got to scan the tape player & tuner (analog) manuals, but will have them done next week.

yeah, im very happy with mine, sounds excellent thru a good mp3 player

The 52 is fairly uncommon, the 32 I have seen a few of.

On the color, black seems to be rarer, Marantz was big on the gold type finish.

If your foams are shot, don't use the speaker until fixed. If you use the spekers with failed foams you risk damaging the voice coils and rendering them useless
