Marantz PM 520DC
(1982 - 1983)

Probably not the tackiest unit of this lineup but tacky enough to be desirable - the very early 80s were interesting years.
Graphic EQ, touch-pads and LEDs aplenty - a lit and shiny little bazaar from... Philips.

CD players weren't in the catalogs yet but CD already was an optional & auxiliary source for this golden showpiece.

Added to the previous lineup for the 1982/83 season, both the PM 520DC and PM 420 sported a CD input, while the better siblings prudently waited to see what would happen before accepting such a new and highly reflective source of music.

Naturally built in Japan by SRC (aka Marantz Japan) and naturally available with a much becoming wood-enclosure there.
