📋 A NOTE FROM MY WORKBENCH: The Marantz Model 19 is a sophisticated solid state receiver from the late 1960s/early 1970s. It features a 5-gang FM tuner (upgraded from the Model 18's 4-gang) and requires specialized knowledge for proper restoration. Over my 30+ years in this field, I've developed specialized techniques for restoring these legendary receivers safely and correctly. My email is
jt@tekmg.com for direct inquiries.
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING – MARANTZ MODEL 19 SPECIFIC: The Model 19 has a unique power supply design and a sophisticated 5-gang FM front end. Capacitors in the power supply, audio path, and FM section degrade with age. I provide a thorough, methodical restoration to factory specifications. The Model 19 is NOT a standard 22xx receiver – it requires specialized knowledge.
About the Marantz Model 19 & My Approach
The Marantz Model 19 (1969-1971) is the successor to the groundbreaking Model 18, featuring significant improvements including a 5-gang FM tuner for better selectivity and sensitivity, an upgraded amplifier section with 50 watts per channel, and the same legendary build quality. It's highly sought after by collectors for its exceptional sound quality, superior tuner performance, and classic Marantz aesthetics. I've restored dozens of Model 19 receivers over three decades, and I treat each one with the meticulous care this American classic deserves. I use premium replacement components and follow factory service procedures to ensure your receiver performs to original specifications.
