You can reattach your broken pointer using the special plastic intended super glue. I think Duro makes it. It comes with a special activator to allow the super glue to bond the plastic.
I've even made a pointer myself from a piece of clear plastic - just to see if it would work. Use a Dremel and be patient.
I've cast cast one from acrylic and I even used clear epoxy for the fun of it once.
I guess the point is, you don't have to buy it (but it's probably easier to do so).
It sounds like I break a lot of pointers, but I don't.
I get a kick out of making parts. It's just the knowledge that it can be done that interests me.

alexkerhead said:Alignment is easy, just tune to a station you know the exact frequency of and place the pointer at that station exactly.
This is the way I have done all of my Marantzii.

I have a pic of my 2220B in there you can see if that pointer looks like the 2245's.

NOT all marantz pointers are the same whsh93a.
That is where I am lost, I cannot seem to find a picture of the insides of a 2245, maybe you could post a pic of it?Boogieman said:Thank you very much for your help. The pointer assembly in your 2220B does not look like a match to what's in my 2245. Is it possible to remove the plastic pointer piece from the black plastic piece that houses it??
