Restored Marantz 2265 Receiver

This beautiful Marantz 2265 has been restored with new LED's, pots cleaned and lubed, and any suspect caps changed out. It sounds awesome and is ready for another 40 years of great tunes.

The Marantz 2265 is a highly regarded vintage stereophonic receiver produced between 1977 and 1980. Known for the "signature Marantz warmth," it delivers 65 watts per channel (WPC) into 8 ohms. It is part of the classic 22xx series, featuring the iconic silver faceplate, blue-lit tuning dial, and gyro-touch horizontal tuning wheel.

Marantz 2265 vs. 2265BWhile both models offer 65 WPC, there are distinct differences between the original 2265 and the later 2265B (produced circa 1977–1979)

• Design: The original 2265 typically features a black-and-blue dial face behind silver, while the 2265B moved toward an "all-silver" look with silver-on-silver nomenclature.
• Controls: The 2265 uses a slider for balance control, whereas the 2265B often features a traditional balance knob and adds a Midrange tone control.
• Build: Some collectors prefer the original non-B models for perceived sturdier build quality, as the B models were slightly lighter (~32 lbs vs 35 lbs).
