The greencaps will likely also be fine, you can replace with Panasonic polys if you want. Greencaps are sealed in epoxy and have proved to be virtually the most reliable cap long term IMO.
I found these Flat sounding and "to me" that's were I would go with a Nice sounding Film. Mundorf EVO Aluminum + Oil are in my Marantz (2)1060, (2) 2230, 4060.Thank you, roger that. Should i leave the "tasty greens" in too then?
I have done 3 of these and did not completely remove any boards. The back of the unit can be unscrewed and "hinged" on the outer screw holes giving very good access to the power amp boards and most of the other boards can be moved to become accessible. Be very careful of the bias diodes attached to the heat sink, these are very fragile and hard to source the originals.Any thoughts on how to remove the boards on these to work on?
Forgot to mention, for me, it was easier to remove the pins from the pcb rather than unwrap the wire when necessary, makes for a cleaner look when finished. RichI unwrapped wires from their posts,
I have the correct unwrap/wrap tool for the Marantz. It's not cheap at 30 bucks but works very well. The issue is the wire and how wirewrap works. The wire is old and brittle. Coupled with that WW when done correctly, the post sides cut into the wire and that weakens it when you unwrap it. It's very difficult to get the wire re-wrapped. I find I trim off most of it and then trim down the insulation for a new short wrap. I put a dab of solder on the new short wrap and life is good. Some pull the post but you are gambling a bit with the old wire not fracturing. I've done that too and it does work. I would say it's a judgement call on which to use. I spent years working with WW in the DOD so I don't mind working with it. If you don't have experience, then pulling the post is a good option. And the third is just to pull the board and get a good angle without undoing anything. The 1030 and 1060 works well with that. Even my 2226B worked that way with some patience and removing some of the metal frame.I removed P800 last night,I unwrapped wires from their posts, seems like there must be a better way. Also pulled one of the posts out of the board, thought that was better.
Hey Mike, what IS the correct WW tool for Marantz posts?
I went and bought this switch to replace the power switch on the amp.
Will it work?? It certainly looks a lot different than the original, terminals on both the top and bottom.
