no luck...
Went back to my Marantz 2325, and carefully dripped Faderlube on the contact points, and worked it back and forth. Still no luck. Here are the symptoms....
Occasionally when turning the unit on, it plays stereo for a short time, and then fades to mono.
the signal strength meter will move back and forth, seemingly not able to hold onto the signal of a VERY strong station.
The tuning meter seems to deflect mostly to the right. I tried taking the cover off the MPX and the Antenna section of the tuner and tapping around with the erasure end of pencil. Nothing. I also tried using compressed air spray as a freeze spray, and in the MPX section, that seemed to make the tuning meter deflect more to the left when moving the dial, but that was temporary.
Pushing in the mute button stops all sound from even the strongest station locally.
Anyone have any ideas? this unit does have a lot of marked accessible pots and controls for both the FM antenna section, and the MPX section. If carefully marked, would I still be asking for trouble to mess with them????
Otherwise, I suppose I need to find a SS tech to do the repair/alignment for me....:sigh:....:tears:
