1970's Marantz Receiver Model 2252B Nice heavy older unit. Built only 1977-1979 For Sale

Offering a 1970's vintage Marantz Model 2252B receiver. I bought this just a couple hours ago at an estate sale of a nicer home here in Florida. I know of no history of the receiver. Serial # is U090586. I don't really like to sell stereo equipment and please try not to make this a bad experience for me. I gave $75 for it and am starting the sale there. It is not rebuilt, refurbished, fully tested, certified, guaranteed or any other such thing. This sale is as is with no refunds or returns. If you want a certified unit, a re-built one or fully tested please buy one from someone that says that and offers returns or refunds. I did hook it up to a pair of tiny speakers I own. FM plays from both channels. Things like tuning dial, balanceknob and volume do work. I did not test a tape player on it, did not test a turntable,did not test headphone jack. I don't own these items.The signal strength meter and the FM tuning needle do move. The tuning needle pointerlights up as well as lights along the top. I don't see lights in the two tuning windows on the left. I don't see any blue lightinglike some for sale have.The built-in antennae is there, all four feet are present. I suspect this unit should be cleaned and adjusted for optimum performance. May need bulbs replaced or whatever. Selling as is with no returns or refunds. Please do not attempt to get a refund either partial or full. I will not negotiate after I ship it nor will I respond to your e-mails regarding complaints. I am sorry to be this way but some vintage electronic buyers have made me quite miserable in the past. I have all positive response and intend to do my best to keep it that way but this does not mean I will give you your money back and let you keep the unit because you noticed wear on a knob. By the way the knobs show signs of wear or some dirt on them. Thanks for looking. I will cut/paste some info below on this unit. Double boxed weight will be 36lb. by the specs so I will put this into shipping calculator so you pay only actual shipping charges from Florida zip 34608.
