This is a very good condition Marantz SA11S2 (there's a very light scratch towards the back of the top panel, not very noticeable), with the Underwood Level-2 modifications. I'll be posting photos a little later. In the meantime, please feel free to ask questions, propose offers, etc. Here's a list of the modifications performed:The following details the Level-2 modifications for the Marantz SA-11S2 CD/SACD Player [$1,750 + freight to your player]:
