The story
The 2270 is the 70 W per channel top model of Marantz’s early-1970s stereo receivers, launched in late 1971 at roughly $500 to $550 and produced into the mid-1970s. Rated at 70 W per channel into 8 Ω at 0.3% THD, it drives almost any home speaker of its era, and it weighs about 38.5 lb. The features match the smaller 2230 and 2245 with a much larger power section: Gyro-Touch flywheel tuning, illuminated signal-strength and tuning meters, bass, mid and treble controls, high and low filters, and pre-out/main-in jacks. Early units carried an engraved faceplate before Marantz moved to silk-screened lettering, and a black-faceplate version was sold in Europe. The optional WC-22 walnut case fits it, as it does the 2230 and 2245. It is one of the best-known Marantz receivers, and asking prices reflect that demand. It suits buyers who want the early-1970s Marantz design with enough power for full-size speakers.

Before you buy
The pre-purchase checklist
Checklist · 6 checks
- 01Ask whether every dial and meter lamp lights, including the illuminated tuning-meter needle.
- 02Work all controls and switches with music playing, listening for crackle or a channel dropping out.
- 03Ask whether the power-supply capacitors have been replaced and whether bias was checked after any output-stage work.
- 04Look in photos for mismatched output transistors or heavy rework around the heatsinks, which can signal an earlier failure.
- 05Confirm the pre-out/main-in jumpers are present on the rear panel.
- 06At nearly 40 lb it needs double boxing with the transformer end well supported, because poorly packed units arrive with bent chassis and broken knobs.

Which one to buy
149 Marantz 2270s are listed, 11 for parts, and most complete ones ask $2,300–3,125 delivered. A recapped and serviced unit sits at the very bottom of that band, and the same seller lists a second one at about $2,382, so there is little reason to pay similar money for an unserviced one. Prioritise a stated service history (power-supply capacitors, bias checked) and ask how a 38.5 lb receiver will be double boxed. Red flags: a zero-feedback seller offering a 'working' unit at about $1,389, an 'unmolested' (original, unserviced) unit at $2,499 with no shipping stated, and a serviced unit at $3,500, about $1,200 over the recapped one. A working no-bid auction opens at about $1,531 delivered and is worth watching if it stays well under the band.

The only recapped 2270 here, and it costs about $1,200 less than the other serviced one at $3,500. It should play on arrival; ask whether bias and DC offset were set after the recap.

That is under half the price of a serviced one, so it suits someone who can diagnose a dead receiver; read the description for the fault before bidding.

Heads-up: check the seller
About $1,389 delivered for a 'working' 2270 is far under the band, and the seller has zero feedback; treat it with caution.

Most 2270s need their controls and switches cleaned, and many need dial or meter lamps. Contact cleaner is the first thing to buy; leave internal adjustments and recapping to the service manual or a technician.
