When I first saw this ad, I thought it might have been for a Marantz I once
had from 1975 or so. It had a chrome front, was large and bulky overall,
but I always loved the built-in compressor it had. I can't recall the model
now, but at one point, these "tanks" were going for $300+ on ePay.

The 222 is the last of the Marantz mono portables. Three heads, remarkably
low flutter for a cassette deck, and yes they have the built-in limiter.
They really are one of the best tools out there for radio reporting since they
are a lot more rugged than most of the digital boxes, they can run on D
batteries in a pinch, you can get blank media in the middle of the Sahara
and even radio reporters can operate them. Voice grade, but good voice grade.
