Help me source a Marantz 10B red dial indicator

[Ki Choi]

My 10B is missing the red plastic dial indicator.

Is there a Marantz guru who can tell me where I can source one?
My guess is the 10B and other tuners and receivers from the same era possibly use same red plastic dial indicator.

If someone can tell me the model number of Marantz receiver or tuner I can buy to extract the red dial indicator, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Ki

As far as I know there are no tuners or receivers in the Marantz line up that are contemporaries of the 10B. (The earlier and rarer 10 yes)

The products I suspect you are thinking of were all manufactured in the Marantz Superscope era in Japan. The 10B was manufactured in Long Island City NY and is widely attributed with bankrupting Marantz in about 1964.

I'm not an expert but I wish you luck on your quest.

A photograph would really help. I am assuming you are talking about the pointer behind the dial face. (You may need to get one made)

Thanks for your advice. Yes, it's the red pointer for frequency indication behind the glass dial face.

I will try to get a photo of the dial indicator.

Can't a new one be fashioned from brass shim stock? Hobby stores often carry this stuff.

I recommend you have a look at Audio Karma Bartertown. I was able to source parts for a Marantz receiver there. The community was very helpful.
