The 2226 is a nice little receiver. 26W/channel, phono, aux, tuner with de-emphasis, hi filter etc.. Marantz made both the 2226 and 2226b, and despite the "b" identifier, they've both got silver faces. I think the 2226b has a slightly better THD rating.
I paid $9.99 for my 2226 at a Salvation Army just last week, and set it up as a 2nd system in a 240 sq.ft room dedicated to FM and cassette (for now. Phono comes next). I find mine to be warm, pleasant, and plenty loud.
