    2238B channels not tracking

    Question from a rookie. 2238b both channels volume increase together until around 9oclock on the dial, then there seems to be a dead spot. Continue turning volume and there is a dramatic increase in the right volume but left is noticeably quieter than the right for the rest of the volume...

    Marantz 2238b No bass/mids on Right Channel

    I recently acquired a very clean Marantz 2238b. It was recapped a few years ago, cleaned, and the bulbs were swapped with LEDs. The work was performed at a professional shop here in the midwest (at the request of the prior owner). The left channel works perfectly. The right channel has great...

    Marantz 2238B: Sound will occasionally stop playing out of one speaker

    So I am totally new to this. My dad recently let me have his vintage Marantz 2238B that had just been sitting unused for maybe 12 years. I decided I'd use it for my TV setup. Currently I have it hooked up to some Polk T15s. I think it did it right when trying to figure out what speakers would...

    Marantz 2238B vs. 2285B - in search of a better sound ..

    Have two recapped 2238B and two recapped (black and silver) 2285B units in my collection. Played one after the other the whole day yesterday and although the 2285B's come across as very articulate and detailed the lower model 2238B's just sound fuller and more musical to my ears. It is almost as...

    Nasty Marantz all-star

    For your pleasure (or disgust); a nasty 2238b. I picked this up six months ago and so it's sat, sealed in plastic on top off the pile. Space opened up in my shop so I decided to unwrap and have a go. My best guess is this belonged to a giant loose bladdered chain smoking cat who enjoyed...

    Marantz 2238BL - occasional loud distortion / fuzz on treble control

    Hi, can't find a specific post on this so thought I'd start one / ask... I've got a Marantz 2238BL. Works great. No crackle on any controls but once in a while I get a loud fuzz/distortion, sometimes when I'm playing music (vinyl, mostly) but also when the unit is on but not being used. It...
