What to do with a 4060

Oerets · Apr 4, 2009

Just picked up a fairly nice 4060 , except for the SS# on top of the Marantz logo on the front panel ......
Thought I'd keep for spare parts but you know , just hate to do it to a working unit .
Someone tell me not to do it please !!!!!

Once it is cleaned up I will post a pic ......

What to do with it? Well, if I had one, I would put it in my family room and hook it up to the TV sound system, and have 2 sets of speakers running stereo sound. Now, you can do this with a normal receiver, but is the front/rear balance control on the 4060 (or any quad receiver) that I need, since the front speakers I have are MUCH more efficient than my rears...

Making parts out of a working, cosmetically decent unit to me is heresy. :thmbsp:

I feel the same way about stripping a good unit . Just got ta find a place for it . I think you can run one pair of speakers and get 30wpc out of it ....

Well here's the pictures I promised , what do you'all think of way I hid the SS#s on the panel ? Also put a new power label down .
It will need a power switch next , but does sound sweet .

Looks good! Are the repeated lines on the bass/treble faders your work too, or are those original?

The lines to the left are original to that model , the ones on top passed WAF so I put them on .......:yes:

The power switch was a PITA to replace , but it IS singing now :banana:

Now I've done it....

Hooked it up to the computer system , guess what ... It's kicking the SA 6500II @ss !
It surprized me due to the different WPC between the two . 12 WPC Vs the Pioneers 30 ???:scratch2:
It might be the fact I'm using four speakers and the Marantz's even running in stereo mode will do a better job due to the Quad tone controls .
