✨ Marantz 2226B Vintage Stereo Receiver — Serviced • Partial Recap • Warm-White LED • 3+ Hr Tested

🎶 Overview

The Marantz 2226B vintage stereo receiver is a classic 1970s silver-face Marantz featuring Gyro-Touch tuning, dual meters, phono input, and approximately 26 watts per channel.

This example has been professionally serviced, carefully cleaned, upgraded with warm-white LED illumination, and completed a 3+ hour bench and listening test prior to shipment.

Internal inspection also shows evidence of a prior selective/partial recap performed before current ownership. Multiple electrolytic capacitors appear to be later replacements in the amplifier/power and tuner circuitry, while numerous original capacitors and components remain.

This receiver is accurately represented as professionally serviced with a prior partial recap. It is not represented as fully recapped, fully restored, electronically rebuilt, or professionally aligned unless specifically documented.

Partial Recap Disclosure

The selective capacitor replacement was performed before current ownership.

Internal inspection shows a mixture of older/original components and electrolytic capacitors that appear to be later replacements. For that reason, the receiver is described as partially recapped, not fully recapped.

No claim is made that every capacitor, transistor, resistor, or other age-sensitive electronic component has been replaced.

💡 Warm-White LED Illumination

The dial illumination has been upgraded to warm-white LED lighting.

This provides a clean, classic presentation that is closer to the original Marantz appearance while offering lower heat and longer expected lamp life than conventional incandescent bulbs.

⚠️ Vintage Electronics Disclosure

This is a vintage electronic component manufactured several decades ago.

Although this receiver has been professionally serviced, cleaned, upgraded with LED illumination, and subjected to extended testing, vintage electronic components can age or fail unpredictably.

The condition description reflects the receiver's operation during inspection and testing prior to shipment and should not be interpreted as a guarantee against future component failure.

🎵 BASH Vintage Audio

At BASH Vintage Audio, we focus on carefully presented vintage hi-fi equipment with clear and accurate descriptions.

When a receiver has been selectively serviced rather than completely rebuilt, we say so. When original components remain, we say so.

Our goal is to give buyers a clear understanding of the equipment they are purchasing while preserving the character of classic vintage audio.
