Description from the seller
The Superscope R-1262 is a classic vintage AM/FM stereo receiver from the 1970s, designed by Standard Radio Japan (Marantz Japan). Because Superscope owned Marantz at that time, this receiver shares many internal components, circuits, and the distinctive warm sound with the legendary Marantz models from the same period.
This Superscope is built similarly to receivers from the Marantz 22xx and MR series.
Visually in very nice condition, with only minor signs of use here and there (scratches on the front).
The combination of the matte black front with aluminum knobs and the blue scale illumination gives this receiver a uniquely beautiful appearance.
The receiver has been fully checked by a specialist and thoroughly cleaned inside and out.
This beautiful receiver is ready for years of listening enjoyment.
The scale lighting has been renewed and replaced with LED.
All potentiometers and switches have been cleaned, so no more crackling knobs or switches.
The receiver is equipped with a variety of input options, including a working phono stage.
The tuner section delivers crystal-clear FM stereo reception, and the tuning is very selective, even with a simple wire as an antenna.
The sound quality is truly fantastic, with the typical warm and punchy Marantz sound.
Please view the extensive photo report; it is part of the item description.
The receiver is professionally packaged with the utmost care and shipped insured with track & trace.
The stated shipping costs are for shipping to the mainland of Europe. For overseas areas and islands (Canaries, Azores, Madeira) shipping costs on request. We always seek the most economical and reliable way to ship the equipment.
