I had a Marantz CD player, the 63SE, for twenty years. It stopped working eventually, the laser and lens will only last for so long. It sounded better than what I have now, which cost twice as much.OHHH, which model? THe 70s were the true Golden Age for hifi, and Marantz stereo receivers from that peiord are the best. If 2270s were as common over here as they are still in the US, I'd snap one up. Marantz still make great (and reasonably priced - for audiophile hifi anyhow), but they've never quite fully recaptured the aesthetic of that 70-79 period, just the tail end of MCM.
Worth doing. It'll sound pretty much better than anything you could spend the same money on today, and in twenty years time, if looked after, it's still be worth at least what it is now.
