Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs. 3A Signature

UPS ??? Do they ever pay a claim???

A New or Repaired faceplate for Marnatz 7
I found out that VAC who made the reissue Marantz 7 has new front panels (125.00). They will have the switch hole made larger so it will fit the old style Marantz 7 (40.00) for a grand total of 165.00...Not bad for a pre-amp that cost 264.00 new. ...
