Vintage Marantz

I have a very clean Marantz model 8 that i purchased a while back. I had gone through the motions of hooking it up into my basement system and then found out that none of my speaker cables would work with it. The amp uses little screw terminals for speaker jacks and everything that i have has got good sized spade connectors on them. I was contemplating getting rid of it but i'd like to at least fire it up before saying goodbye. Maybe i'll work on that this coming week. One of my buddies has a set of Marantz Model 9 monoblocks that i've never heard. He has urged me NOT to hook mine up. He says that i should just sell it to him and not worry about it : ) Sean

Phild, i do not want to modify them for the "collectability" issue. Should i decide to keep them, i will do as Rushton has done and go through them piece by piece. At this point in time, i think that they'll be gone in less than a week or two judging by how much my "buddy" is harrassing me for them. Sean
