Trash to Treasure: Marantz SR-1000 Restoration

I found this Marantz SR-1000 in a barn in Colorado. It wasn't fully operational and it was in rough shape so I restored it and built it a new wood case using Maple veneer and solid maple to brighten it up. I also replaced the amplifier STK 463 module and upgrade the lights to LEDs among other things. It's now in my living room and sounds and looks great!

I have listed it for sale but I think it'll be hard to part with. You can see the listing here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/386936130099

My name is Matt. I live in Washington State and create content around vintage stereos and other audio equipment. I approach the hobby from a technical standpoint and am learning about circuit design and reparing and calibrating amps, turntables, speakers, etc. I really appreciate a good aesthetic and the vintage stuff fits my taste.
