MR 71 Meter-Multipath Indicator Problem
My Mcintosh MR71 which was serviced a few years ago by Modafferi, has a peculiar problem. It sounds fine. However, the signal strength meter has started to quickly dart between a strong signal strength and zero--at the same time the multipath indicator quickly changes between narrow and wide. However, this does not seem to be a reception problem per se, as the stereo indicator stays lit and the sound remains the same.
A technician pointed out to me that the signal strength meter and multipath indicator are in the same circuit. He thought the meter might need to be disassembled. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. Does anyone have any other suggestion about the cause of the problem and whether it could be fixed easily?
Thanks,
