FOR THE BUDGET-MINDED PERFECTIONIST. THE 6100.

High on performance, the belt-drive 6100 features a super-dependable AC synchro nous motor. The convenience of auto return and shut off. Plus full protection of your valuable records with a precision S-shaped tone arm, gentle-action viscous-damped cueing and anti-skate.

FOR THE BUTTON-PUSHER.

THE TOTALLY AUTOMATIC 6200.

It's auto-everything. Auto start. Auto return and shut off. Auto repeat. Operates manually, as well. A servo motor, coupled with belt drive, assures optimum speed accuracy. Stroboscopic pitch control "fine tunes" speed to compensate for off-pitch records or for playing along with a musical instrument. The 6200 cares for your records, too, with a precision S-shaped tone arm, gentle-action viscous-damped cueing and anti-skate.

Model 6200/ $199.95

Model 6100/ $129.95

Suggested list prices. Actual selling prices at dealer's discretion. All models come complete with anti-static turntable mat, plastic hinged dust cover, base enclosure, and low capacitance phono cables that assure 4-channel capability whenever you need it. The base enclosure for the 6300 is constructed of plywood, finished in genuine walnut veneer. The enclosures for the 6200 and 6100 are finished in walnut grain vinyl veneer

FOR THE TOP-OF-THE-LINER. THE DIRECT DRIVE, OPTO-COUPLED AUTO LIFT 6300.

Features and technological excellence galore. Starting with absolute speed accuracy assured by a combination of direct drive design and DC servo motor that automatically compensates for voltage speed fluctuations. Of course. there's auto lift and shut off, but on the 6300 its opto-coupled--a significant Marantz exclusive. It means no tracking distortion caused by mechanical linkage between auto mechanism and tonearm. The secret: a tiny beam from a eight-emitting diode maintains constant contact with a photo transistor during play.

At records end. a sliding blade cuts contact.

At record’s end, a sliding blade cuts contact that lifts the tonearm and shuts off the motor. There’s more.

Stroboscopic pitch control "fine-tunes” speed to your personal preference. And viscous damped cueing gently, smoothly lowers the, precision S-shaped tone arm onto the sensitive disk surface Vertical/ lateral counter balancing and anti-skate result in lowest distortion and tracking error.

Marantz--We sound better.
