Marantz Model 19 with Owners Manual

[Corsair]

We are new to this forum, so I hope this is the right place to ask this question. We inherited a Marantz Model 19 receiver. It is in good condition and has the manual. Does anyone know what this might be worth? We are looking for a ballpark figure or range in values, just to give us an idea. Also, where would be the best place to list this? Thanks!

Audiogon is the best place to list it.
Photos are a must since equipment this old could have such a wide range of wear.
That was a 1971 introduction and the scope they put on those was pretty neat!
Assuming it has been well cared for with only a few very minor cosmetic blemishes (only visible up close), it might be worth about $500-600!
With easily visible stains, dents, big scratches, etc. it still may bring $300 or better (as long as it is fully functional).

The value of the model 19 depends upon a few things:
1.Country of origin
Early production runs were done in the USA and they had many problems, the later runs of the better quality units were done in Japan.
2.Scope operation
Does this work properly, as the tube is rare and expensive.
3.Overall cosmetics
Good, kleen shape?
4.Functionality
Do all of the features work?

SUMMARY
If the unit was built in Japan, and is kleen and functioning it is worth about $500(retail value). The Marantz stereo receiver that is really valuable are the models 2500& 2600, these go for between $3K-5K in good operating condition.

Hope that helps.

Just my $0.02....

Thanks M Code and KEW for the two prompt replies regarding this unit. I will check the unit and see if we can find out if it was made in the US or Japan. I remember when we were kids and my dad bought it-we thought the scope was so cool! It was working fine when it got boxed away a year or two ago. All I know is it looks clean and appears to be in good shape.

As I said, first time on this site, but lots of good info and very helpful people!! Thanks again!!!!
