Marantz 2235 (1974-1977)

The Marantz 2235 is a solid-state AM/FM stereo receiver from the mid-1970s lineup. These were the final years of Marantz's American design era. After Philips acquired the brand, production and engineering moved overseas.

The 2235 has the controls you'd expect for the period: bass, midrange, and treble tone controls, a loudness contour switch, and a tuning meter for FM and AM reception. The phono stage takes both magnetic and ceramic cartridges. The receiver sits in a walnut wood case, which helped Marantz receivers stand out on dealer shelves.

Owners report that the 2235 responds well to basic restoration. That means cleaning switches and pots with Deoxit, replacing aging electrolytic capacitors, and servicing the dial lamps. A service manual is available online. A clean, functional unit typically sells for $400 to $800, and fully restored examples can command more.

Known specifications:

• Power output: 35W per channel (8Ω, stereo)
• Features: dual power supply, phono stage (magnetic & ceramic), FM/AM tuner, loudness contour, bass/mid/treble controls, walnut case, tuning meter
• Production years: 1974–1977
