Marantz CD63 & CD67 mods list - Page 1386

Crazy... maybe there is a difference between the SE with the 'plastic golden plate' on the face. I have the "Special Edition" printed in golden ink directly on the face of the player.

It's a S1 at least?
Shepp, why not a hard wood brace? That should work better I think.

Thomo · 5th January 2010, 07:20 AM

I'm pretty sure the brace was fitted to mk2 versions of the cd63.

UV101 · 5th January 2010, 07:38 AM

I got the brace on 63 and 67 mkI with the gold painted "Special Edition" as opposed to the gold badge on the mkII's

I have a mk1 Special Edition, no brace... no signs that it used to be there either.

Maybe someone stole it. Does it make an audible difference?

No bull here but going from the days when the 63/67 was current until now I have seen easily over 1000 of these units.

I have never seen one 63SE 63KI 67SE 67OSE without a brace or chassis plate! All standard 63 63MKII 67 have no brace or no bottom chassis plate.

The gold badge units are the KI (except very early text style badges)

What do you mean with a chassis plate?

SimontY · 5th January 2010, 08:34 AM

An extra metal bottom plate on the chassis, works with the brace to make the whole thing feel more expensive and I would think gives the impression of bass due to the weight.
