I picked this up about 2 years ago with a idea of putting a nice marantz system together but i ended up with carver and sae…. It could use a good cleaning & light needs replaced(pic’s) but over-all this pre-amp is in nice working condition. Tested all functions but the phono section……
About this model
The 3300 is a solid-state Marantz preamplifier from the 1970s, the period after Superscope bought the company in 1964 and production moved increasingly to Japan. The seller had bought it to build a Marantz system and ended up with Carver and SAE instead; the unit worked apart from an untested phono stage and a lamp that needed replacing.
Later Marantz solid-state equipment is far more common, and far cheaper, than the tube models of the 1950s and early 1960s.
