Offered here is a very clean Marantz 2230 vintage stereo receiver, professionally serviced by Cove Electronics in Newport, Rhode Island, partially recapped, upgraded with warm white LED illumination, and carefully cleaned and prepared by BASH Vintage Audio.

The 2230 is one of the classic Marantz silver-face receivers of the 1970s, with its brushed-aluminum faceplate, gyro-touch tuning wheel, blue illuminated dial, red stereo indicator, phono stage, and unmistakable Marantz styling.

🔧 Professional Service

This receiver was professionally serviced by Cove Electronics.

The internal photos show a combination of newer replacement electrolytic capacitors and original components, so this unit is accurately represented as professionally serviced / partially recapped, rather than fully recapped or fully restored.

Service and preparation include:

• Professional electronic service and inspection
• Selected electrolytic capacitors replaced
• Controls and switches cleaned and exercised as appropriate
• Warm white LED lighting upgrade
• Amplifier operation checked
• AM/FM tuner operation checked
• Inputs and controls functionally tested
• Unit will be retested before packing
• Each unit receives at least 3 hours of bench time/testing before shipment

💡 Warm White LED Upgrade

The receiver has been upgraded with warm white LEDs.

Warm white LEDs are used to preserve the traditional Marantz appearance rather than creating an overly bright or cold-blue modern look.

Through the original Marantz dial system, the result is the classic blue illumination shown in the photographs.

✨ BASH Vintage Audio Cleaning Process

As part of our preparation process:

• Knobs are removed
• Knobs are ultrasonically cleaned
• Hand-dried and individually polished
• Faceplate carefully cleaned
• Exterior cleaned
• Controls and switches cleaned and exercised as appropriate
• Interior visually inspected and carefully cleaned

Our goal is to preserve the character of the component while presenting it as cleanly and accurately as possible.

🎛️ Cosmetic Condition

This Marantz 2230 presents very well for its age.

The brushed-aluminum faceplate retains strong lettering and clean controls. The warm white LED conversion gives the receiver the classic Marantz blue-dial appearance, complemented by the red stereo indicator.

The wood-grain metal cover also presents nicely and complements the silver faceplate. This is a metal cover with a wood-grain finish, not a solid wood cabinet.

As expected with vintage equipment of this age, there may be normal signs of previous use, including light scratches, marks, or age-related imperfections.

Please review all photographs and video carefully, as they are part of the condition description and show the actual receiver being offered.
