Mr_Gimlet 237 Posted April 1, 2007 Merdian 565Z3 Meridian 565 DSP/ preamp. Been upgraded with a Z3 card so it can handle DTS. Same model as mine. I would have thought realistically worth about 1250. Edit: went for 1225, fair price. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidsss 844 Posted April 3, 2007 Well I got gazzumped at the end on the spare Micro MR611 TT. It went for $74 and it's 35 years old and no tonearm. Too much when you are just looking for spare parts. Anyway (touch wood) nothing seems to go wrong with the Micro - after 35 years even the light still works, all I have ever replaced is the belt (once in 20 years)!

blackfox 20 Posted April 3, 2007 I bought myself ROTEL RB-951 stereo power amplifier 2 X 50watt rms or 1 x 150watt rms into 8 ohms for $135 and its local so pickup no problem, thought for a lower powered amp that was a good deal oh a great saying i once learned when i first started working in retail and selling of second hand goods, something is only "worth" what you can actually "get" for them, 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice, rare but way overpriced for what it is. also try the cd80,84 and 85 which all have the CDM1 transport. At the same time look for Phillips of that era, after all they owned marantz and internally they had equivelents for most marantz products of the time.

Tony C 2 Posted April 6, 2007 The CD-99 DR player was released in December 1988 with the CDM-1 Mk 1 mechanism. The earlier CDM-1 mechanism along with the die cast platform used a glass lense attached to a metal barrel on the mechanism. This was replaced by the CDM-1 Mk 11 mechanism ( used in CD 94 MK11 /CD 80) etc which although it used the same die cast chassis went to plastic parts around the laser optic system. This was done partly to reduce production costs but also to improve the speed at which the laser accessed tracks around the disc. Early criticisms of the CDM -1 mechanism was it was to slow skipping between tracks due to the weight of the laser optic assembly. I know of a few clients trying to obtian parts for the CDM-1 MK 1 mechanism without success as they stopped production in the Mid nineties. Very well built transport all the same. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidsss 844 Posted April 21, 2007 Oooh, those amps look nice, valves and power. I think I need a tattslotto ticket as I have no money, just spent $500 on yet another DVD player/recorder after the last one died after a bit over 12 months. At least this one plays VHS too and I got an extended warranty. I suppose, since I don't have the funds I shouldn't look at this thread but I can't resist. :biggrin: DS 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
