Marantz Sc-6

October   1 9 7 9 october 1979
1 9 8 3 1983

The small one, part of the original ESOTEC Series, unlike the bigger Sc-7 which was a rebadged B-line Marantz from the last Superscope years.

Only the very early units have the ESOTEC tag.

High quality 14-FET MC stage, all-Class A push-pull stages, low-impedance outputs, the flap hides the output selector (1/2) plus the subsonic and high filters.

Available with a wood enclosure in Japan, sideburns in the USA and nadanothing in Europe :(


A real Sc-6 here.
