    Marantz Snubber vs. Safety Cap

    I have an early (S/N 8796) model 1060. I have found conflicting information regarding replacement of the cap across the power switch. Presumably this issue also applies other Marantz amps and receivers of the period, but the cap references in this post are for a 1060. My amp (and the 1060...

    Use Marantz 1060 as preamp for 2226B

    Hi all, First post here :) so I got myself a 2226B today and I also have a 1060 integrated. I compared the two and find the 1060 to sound better than the 2226B. Now I'm kind of new to all this so forgive me if this is a simple question but how can I use my 1060 as a preamp for my 2226B? And if...

    Circuit calculation question- fun challenge - 1060 diff input amp

    Hi team, I tried to calculated the theoretical voltages to expect on the 1060 diff amp. but I was not able to do so: I don't know how to calculate the voltages such as the 14v between r707 and r709. Any thoughts ? Vcc = 60v I am quite sure I need Ie in H701 emitter resistance = 26mV/Ie -...

    1060, feet mounting screw thread? Identify.

    Back from tech and installed in new wood cabinet. I Need longer screws for feet under new 1060 cabinet. They appear to be close to #8-32. But bind up within a few threads, when mated with an #8-32 nut. SAE or metric or ? I can scour the hardware store. But wondered if someone can help narrow it...

    Are new audio caps hard to find?

    I have a Marantz 1060 at a Tech for a full recap restoration First time I got it back from him. The subwoofer I used with high level inputs, wouldn't pass power on to left speaker. (Subwoofer now has an issue.) 1060 went back to tech. He said DC problem with left channel. Then a left channel...

    Marantz 1060 vs Pioneer SA 9900

    Hi, I’m considering buying one of these two amps to power a set of Klipsch Fortes. Would love to hear any opinions on the two that anyone cares to share. I’m mostly interested in how their sounds differ from one another, so long as the Marantz is powerful enough for the Fortes. I will mostly...

    1060 with damaged volume pot, repairable?

    This 1060 was brought to me with intermittent volume operation on one side. No output until rotated pot to near 11:00 position. Then muted output at that. Initial inspection of R002 I can see the wipers are mangled on the rear pot. I was able to remove the cover and it looks like, in...

    Marantz 1060 as a Photo Stage and as a Preamp

    I have been connecting my turntable to the 1060 integrated amp. Lately there is a tube integrated Willsenton R8 offered to me at a very reasonable price. However, the R8 doesn't have phono in. I have two options: to use the 1060 as a pre to utilise the phono stage in it and feed it into the R8...

    Marantz 1060 transformer terminal block jumper settings

    Can anyone confirm that the service manual and/or schematic are correct? My 1060 project has a two bladed Nema style 1-15P plug on it, but it looks inside like it is wired for 220V based on page 7 of the service manual. Also interesting is that the schematic and page 7 disagree somewhat. The...

    Good looking and sounding1060 a worthwhile restoration candidate?

    Your Opinions wanted. Subjective as we all are. As titled, is this model a good candidate for effort/money to restore to possibly near original performance? My 1060 has very good face condition. Speaker posts function well. Inside looks good. Looks like previous owner took care of it. I like...

    1060 - Capacitor installation

    I got this rusty but otherwise pristine 1060 to work on. It looks very original and I am curious as why these capacitors are installed high up with sleeving. Should the new ones be installed the same way?

    Marantz 1060 - Can't set bias, output cap overvoltage

    Hi I have recapped my 1060 and powered up to set the bias but I am seeing C006 (Nichion 6800uF 63v) go to ~70v. Adjusting the R723 makes no difference. I have checked that the pots are all working. The other channel is at a reasonable level. Have any of you come across this before or able...

    Stylus Recommendations for a Grado G2 on Marantz 6300

    Hey folks! First post! I’ve got a wonderfully restored Marantz 6300 (thanks to restoration sound in NC) paired with a 1060 amp and playing through Sansui SPX-9000 speakers. Recently, I picked up an extra head shell that came with a really clean Grado G2 cartridge sans stylus. Any...

    2235B and 1060 Capacitor / Refurb Questions

    I've got these two units and have a couple questions about recapping them. The 2235B works fine. I replaced the lights in it years ago, and other than adjusting bias and offset and a Deoxit treatment, nothing has been needed. This receiver sounds great, but I'd like to ensure longevity and to...

    Marantz 2235B Pre-Main, Idle Current, and Other Questions

    Hi, I'd like to make this receiver 'safe' and relaible to use and bring its performance back to where it was when new. Cosmetically, it's probably a 9-9.5, and it's fairly attractive design anyway, so it seems worthy of the effort. I replaced all the bulbs about 10 years ago when I was using...

    1060 rebuild on deck

    Good afternoon AKers! I've got a 1060 on deck for a rebuild. It hasn't been powered up in a couple years and the glue on the boards has corroded most of the caps pretty well. Nothing has been touched in the power supply since it was manufactured, so it's long overdue for some attention. I've...

    Marantz 1060 Amp - First Things To Do

    I recently shipped some components from my house in NC to CA. One of the first things I sent was a 1060 integrated amp. Cosmetically, this unit looks to be maybe a couple years old. When I hooked it up before shipping, it had really sticky pushbuttons and noisy pots. Those cleaned up very...

    Rediscovered Goodies

    1060 - Can't get half voltage at output caps

    Hi, I have done this model more than once and don't understand the problem. It's fully recaped as usual with Nichicon / Elna. I replaced all 2SC458/1000 on the phono stage, as well as both 2SD438 on the output board (the two new ones I have in stock have a gain of 152-155 so no idea if this is...

    Marantz 1060 with Airport Express Audio In

    Hello, I am using the 2nd Gen Apple Airport Express (A1392) to feed in the AUX on the 1060. The cable is a standard 3.5mm (from Airport Express) to RCA stereo cable. I read that the Airport Express has 2.0volt so it is best to keep the audio on it around 70% (in airplay). However, even that...

    Marantz 1060 right channel distortion

    Hi all- Trying diagnose my 1060 issue. Marantz Preamp is ok, ran preamp out from NAD preamp and still had a distorted sound on right. It only occurs after powering up cold. Distorted sounds goes away after some time( 30 second to sometimes 5 minutes) then sound comes in clean. Once sound...

    Marantz 1060 un-even channels, any insights?

    1060 Output coupling caps
