Product Description
Restore your vintage Marantz 22xx or 23xx series receiver with our premium replacement knobs, proudly designed and manufactured in the USA. Available in Gen1 and Gen2 variations (with Gen3 coming soon), these knobs are crafted from high-quality aluminum, weighing 18.6 grams—2.5 times heavier than the original 7.3 grams—for a solid, premium feel. Finished with a durable clearcoat to protect against wear, scratches, and fading, they feature a swirl pattern that replicates the authentic Marantz aesthetic. Pair these knobs with our Marantz faceplates to transform your receiver into a showpiece that looks better than new.
Important Compatibility Note: This knob is specifically designed for Marantz 22xx and 23xx series receivers (e.g., 2215, 2220, 2230, 2245, 2270, 2325). It is not compatible with other models such as the 2385, 2500, or 2600 receivers, which use larger knobs, or amps like the 1030 and 1060, which require smaller diameter knobs. Separate listings for those models are coming soon—stay tuned!
Marantz Knob Identification Guide (22xx and 23xx Series)
To ensure you select the correct replacement knob for your Marantz receiver, compare your existing knob to the descriptions below. Due to production variations, Marantz used different knob styles on the same model (e.g., both Gen1 and Gen2 on the 2275). Inspect your knob’s appearance to determine the right match.
-
Gen1 Knobs

Appearance: No black indicator line on the knob face, featuring the original early 1970s design with a smooth, classic finish.

Best For: Restoring the authentic look of early Marantz receivers.

How to Identify Which Knob:
-
Examine the knob face: Look for a black indicator line on the face (Gen2) or a knurled texture with a wider slot (Gen3). Gen1 knobs have neither.
-
Compare with your receiver’s model and era, but prioritize visual inspection due to Marantz’s possible use of both Gen1 and Gen2 on models.
-
If unsure, contact us with a photo of your knob for expert assistance.
Whether you’re restoring an early 1970s classic or a later model, our knobs ensure a perfect fit and authentic look. For those with Gen1 style knobs, upgrading to Gen2 offers enhanced visibility to the setting with the added indicator line while maintaining the vintage aesthetic.
