First hit on google.... (http://www.classic-audio.com/marantz/0008.html)

General :
Rarity - Rare
Retail Price - 250
Designed in - USA
Manufactured In - USA
First Year - 1959
Last Year - 1962
Channels - Two
Tube Design - Yes
Speaker Connections - Two sets

Amplifier :
RMS Power Per Channel - 30
Cooling Fan(s) - No
Auxillary Metering - Yes

I am guessing with the right speaker it will sound pretty good, but it does not have alot of value. I would play with it to see if you like the sound and then pass it on (let e-bay set the price for you - don't expect to make much on it though)

There is a model 9 on e-bay, if it is anything like that I would play with it.
Does it have tubes?
What kind of connections can be made on the back?

[Hogdawgs]

I dont care what its worth really. Its a 8b if that means anything?
has a bunch of glass tubes in front and screws for speaker wire

If you don't want it let me know, if it powers up and all the tubes glow, I might be interested.

I just went to classicaudio.com and this is what they have on the amp.

model 8B
type Power
Vintage 1964-1968
Orig $ 285.00
Used $ 1133.00/2056.00

I would say it would probably be worth investing a little money to get this working well. At least I wouldn't just give it away.
