    Marantz 2330B - Name engraved....

    So I acquired a Marantz 2330B from a professor of mine years ago. I had the whole thing completely recapped, cleaned, etc. And its perfect. But... I'm thinking of selling it. My only concern is that he got it from a guy who was in the military, and engraved his full name, and SSN onto the front...

    Picking up radio stations with integrated amp...

    So I was installing a small set up for a friend, and the amp being used was a Marantz 1030. I get it all set up, and we turn it on, and immediately hear a radio station. We can hear it over every channel (phono, aux, tape, etc) and volume knob does not adjust anything. Turns out there is a...

    Technics SL-1950

    I have one of these I am holding for a sale to a friend... but it has an issue... The cueing mechanism. Goes down... very slowly. And its minor. I have to tighten it down so when you cue up, its barely above the record. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Marantz Imperial 5s for $150....

    Local seller for me... I haven't seen them personally yet. He says they sound great. One has a water stain on the top... I don't mind re-staining. Is $150 a good price if the drivers are all intact or should I haggle them down? -AD

    Sony STR-DE597

    So my brother calls me up because his Sony 6.1 receiver has no sound. Granted, I usually don't deal with home theatre receivers, I figured my friends or people on here would be able to check it out. Hooked up the DMM and I'm reading 0.00 on all speaker outputs. The only visible fuse it for...

    My babies are in the shop...

    Both my 2330B and my 1030 are with the doctor... :tears: But, my Marantz repair is a great fella (also an AKer) who set me up to borrow one of his while I waited. Told me it'd be a while, because his bench was full of repairs already. So I brought home a 2275!! Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I like...

    Deoxit D5 or D100?

    Which is better/which should I be using? The more I read, the more confused I get. Some people swear D100 is the way to go, others D5.... Also... Faderlube instead of D5 on pots? Why so?

    As some of you know, I've been working on that 1030 for my little lady for Christmas. Well today I was working on another friend's turntable... and I noticed the right channel was softer than the left. So I put on some new RCA cables on the turntable and tried again. Still softer. So I hooked...
