Marantz Model 19-FM
Not much is documented about the Marantz Model 19-FM beyond Marantz's own advertising. The Archive has no service manual, no spec sheet, and no independent lab review for it. What survives is the company's "The Reality of Marantz" campaign of roughly 1970-71. In it the Model 19 FM was the flagship receiver, priced at $1,000, from a maker that described its line as the most expensive stereo equipment in the world. An ad in High Fidelity (March 1971, p.62) claimed the sound was so realistic a listener could light a pipe at the scratch of a match.
That is the whole verifiable record: the price, the slogan, and the model's place at the top of Marantz's receiver line. No power rating, tuner specifications, dimensions, or production dates are documented in the materials available here.
