Hi Guys...Can anyone recommend a good Marantz repair/service person or shop in the Tucson or southern AZ area, or someone here on AK?...i have a SC-7 Pre-Amp that keeps dropping a channel....i've tried deoxing it, no change...so its off for a needed service...thanks...John in Sierra Vista
I have 2 TM55DD's.....really , the only way is to remove the foot under the lamp area....and use a 1inch hole drill ..kinda mark where the lamp is.....they are rubber mounted in the lamp housing...but if you try to remove the housing from the top you will more than likely damage the wood...
Hi guys...im not that very well clued up on Marantz units, but...im on my 3rd!! 3250 preamp that the headphone outs dont work!....was/ is this a common thing to go out on these?

@Cphelps83....Yes you did have a good day at the SVDP,
and as he also knows now (we are friends)...we cant buy anything "audio" from our local SA anymore....the SA Tucson corporate policy is,
all electronics in southern AZ must now go to the head sorting warehouse in Tucson..no if's, but's, or...
@BMW 2002 tii....if you didn't have the cash in hand...and had to get a "loan" from a bank...you really could'nt afford the car in the first place......I never- never go look at a classic car for sale without cash in hand!...if the sale goes through...but I'm unable to drive the car away right...
