LINER NOTES

Superscope sold the Marantz brand to Philips Electronics in 1980, so the SR line, made in Japan, may be the first one produced under Philips although most of the design must have occurred under Superscope. It still has the classic Marantz look with the silver face and Marantz gyro touch tuning wheel. The SR line has an interesting dial indicator in which the pointer is part of a larger clear plastic square. It has treble and bass tone controls, loudness and muting buttons and a headphone jack.
