i've got a marantz in the shop right now in okc
i should be getting it back this week.
 
i'll let you know how it turns out
 
i kinda know the guys that own the shop.  they do good work but vintage receivers hasn't been their target market thus far.  they mainly work on musicians equipment, amps, pa's and the like.  But they are good and eager to build their business.  So we'll see how they feel about the vintage stuff when they finish up mine. 
 
and then theres and option in Enid.  He's a retired guy that does good work.  but its in enid.
 
I'll keep you posted.
 
 
also
out of curiosity
do you know Steve up on Classen or Mark in Shawnee?

Don't know if you guys in Oklahoma saw the guy in Lawton with the 2000 records, Sony speakers, Marantz receiver, and Pioneer turntable on craigslist. I called the guy and the turntable is a Pioneer pl-520, receiver is a Marantz 2226b, and he couldn't find a model number on the speakers. It's hard not to make the hour and a half drive there...

i haven't heard the 2226B but i've heard the 2226.
it sounds alot like the 2238 and 2235B
Not worth 350 but i you could offer him 100$ just for the receiver and see what happens.

Haha, it is a little odd. What would a 2226b be worth if it was in decent condition?

With a near mint appearance and in perfect working order $200 would be near the high end and $150 would be a decent deal. These are tremendously well made units.
 
 
Was listening to my 2220B last night, Dire Straits-Sultans of Swing. Sounds just fantastic flat-no tone adjustments. Hit the loudness button and your socks just get knocked off. The nicest tone improvement I have heard on any receiver.

That sounds about right. I think I gave $229 for my Marantz 2226B and it was in great shape cosmetically with no issues.
 
I recently moved my 2216B (baby Marantz) into a spare bedroom where it powers a pair of Infinity RS-9 pretty well. My 2226B sits in my home office and drives HE-500s very well from the HP jack.
 
I suppose I prefer the all-silver face models.
