Description
Rare vintage Marantz EQ-10 in very good condition — smooth sliders, LEDs working, fully tested, and a collector’s gem not often seen on Trade Me!
A rare opportunity to own a Marantz EQ-10 10-band graphic equalizer from 1981–82. This vintage unit has been part of my setup for several years and works perfectly. It pairs beautifully with a Marantz ST-450 tuner (see my other listings) or any classic hi-fi stack.
The EQ-10 lets you precisely shape your sound across 10 frequency bands, ideal for fine-tuning vintage systems or bringing older recordings back to life. Classic Marantz styling, illuminated sliders, and smooth controls make it a joy to use. Cosmetically in very good condition with only minor age-related marks. All sliders, LEDs, and controls operate smoothly.
