I can't help myself. Another 1980 became available just 35 minutes away and within about 5 miles of the other 1980 I bought . This 1980 is a low miler and stock. No signs of adventurers inside. Came with box and paperwork.So I go hungry for awhile. I could afford to lose a few.
I took a picture of the power supply board to show little or no signs of heat. Which reflects the low hours.
Will do all the recommended mods,recap, replace transistor etc that are well documented from other posts.
Set the DC and Bias and now doing my part inventory. Hopefully won't be as intimidating the second time round.
I do note that some one has jammed one of the speaker posts/clips at the back as a result of trying to jam a metal banana plug type connector. Not sure yet how to resolve. I do have other speaker connectors from Marantz that will fit but that won't do!
