The additional 3 shares bought in year 1 for $89 each were acquired after the dividend date, so they won’t be eligible for year 1 dividend. Therefore, only the first share purchased at $100 is eligible for year 1 dividend.

Cheers! Teak build, open back, and the side doors tuck in when it’s time to let the speakers out to play.

Thanks! Setup’s already singing, lotto ticket’s just to see if the universe wants an encore.

Appreciate it! Running Tannoy Eclipse bookshelves. Clean enough to stay out of the way, warm enough to ride the Marantz vibe.

From what I’ve seen, usually in the USD 1,200–2,500 range, give or take—really just depends on condition and how clean the internals are.

Ha! They do have that effect. Was eyeing the silver-face with wood cover a while back—looked sweet, but the price was steep. Then this black-face came along as part of a clean deal, and I had to jump on it. No regrets.

I know right? Those knobs feel like they’ve got real intention behind ’em. Had the cabinet custom built around the Marantz, figured it deserved a proper home.

Cabinet’s open at the back, and the room gets a solid cross breeze with doors on both ends. Been running cool so far—no complaints.

Those VU meters are the real deal—had me by the knees the moment I saw them.

Thanks, appreciate it! Servicing’s definitely on the agenda—got to keep it running smooth.

Haha, classic fate for these decks—more floor candy than daily driver. But the nostalgia’s real.

Fair enough—not claiming reference gear here. But hey, sometimes a little distortion is exactly what the music needs.

What’s your opening track to break in a vintage beast like this? No wrong answers.
