Hey all,
In my crazy effort to aqquire every Marantz quad, I picked up a 4270 with a wood case. The 4270 arrived in one piece, the wood case, not so much. Anyway, thank goodness this one worked when I got it, just needed the usual de-oxit treatments and general cleaning. I have re-capped the power supply (most were jumping out of their skins!) and both amps and for once did notice a significant change in sound, mostly after re-capping the power supply. I have order filter caps and hope to have them by next week. Unfortunately, the unit came with no metal cover and the wood case is marginal (even after re-gluing it and filling in the missing pieces with wood putty), so I had to find one on the bay. Hate it that people cut up good machines for parts just to make money, but I have to admit they have saved my a** a few times. Anyway here's the picts till now...
Thanks... Rich
