Restoration is an Addiction
Just finishing up another receiver right now and then on to my latest acquisition, a Marantz 2285 in very nice condition. Relatively clean inside and out with only minor corrosion inside.
Interesting to note the change in board layout from the earlier 70's models. The AM board is now back on the left side of the transformer. And it has a cover along with the FM MPX board up front. Also note the huge 50mm 13,000uf filter caps. Wow! Great news that the amp boards unplug for ease of removal.
I did note the phono and preamp board uses reddish films (not brown or green or gray). Was wondering if anyone had seen them before and any thoughts on their performance? Here's a pic of the phono board.
Of course if you know me you know pretty much everything will be new when finished. But because this receiver is somewhat rare compared to the common 2230/2270, etc I was wondering if others had input or advice. I've been busy confirming component values and will wait until the weekend to place my Mouser order. My first rebuild without a historical template to follow, at least that I could find on AK. Should be fun!
