stormdogAnother Goodwill find.
I was walking around the store with a few CDs in my hand when I saw this sitting on the electronics shelf. "Shuuut up!" I breathed, in an uncreative gasp.
I was sitting with it on the floor when a Chinese man approached from the other direction with a surprised smile on his face. "Marantz?" he asked with a heavy accent. He'd recognized it just from the back.
"Marantz!" I agreed. "A 2270!"
His English was not very good, but I got that he wanted to know whether it worked. "It powers up!" I said. I tried to explain that I already have a 2220 and was elated to find this unit, but I couldn't cross the language barrier. Instead, I simply said "It's beautiful!"
He reached down to give the tuning dial a spin and watched the indicator slide across the dial. "Beautiful!" he agreed.
Vintage Marantz hi-fi. It transcends culture. *grins*
