    2215B - Variable Capacitor Trimmer Locations?

    I'm doing an AM/FM alignment on a 2215B and I can find no information in the service manual or anywhere on the internet to indicate how the trimmers are oriented on the variable capacitor. As you can see here, the service manual refers to these 5 points for adjustment: And we can see on the...

    Marantz 2215B Power Supply Transistor Subs

    Hi all, I am currently restoring a Marantz 2215b as my first restoration. I am working on the power amp and I am having trouble sourcing a suitable replacement transistor for H709 and H710. The originals were 2SA684 which folks have said to substitute with KSA1220AY. However KSA1220AY is out of...

    Marantz 2215B Preamp Out?

    In my Solid State thread, I am rebuilding a Dynaco ST-120 amp that I got from my brother in his 'I'm Moving, Giveaway Pile". Sadly he already took the PAT-4 to Goodwill. It's in the wind. BUT, he has a Marantz 2215B that I may be able to get, and I thought, this might make a good preamp...

    Volume Pot Hum - Marantz 2215b

    I have a Marantz 2215b that I just finished restoring. Usually when I get a hum from a unit, I can trace it back to grounding and fix it. In this case the hum is quite different. On AUX source - Hum is volume pot dependent - volume on zero -> no hum On phono - hum is similar except when at...

    Marantz 2245 Value

    So in looking at picking up a Marantz for a good phono stage I have settled on a 2245 based upon all I have read and recommendations. Problem is the cost. The days of finding one for $100 are gone and I don't live in a region of a country where thrift stores and yard sales are full of vintage...

    Somewhat related... Marantz "push" terminal > female banana? -

    Look for adapters to that I can connect to the push terminals on the back of my receiver and plug in my male banana plugs. Can't seem to find it on Amazon. Newbie- Just picked up a 2215B and a 2230.. both play. Other than replacing with LED's and cleaning the pots, anything else to look out for?

    Marantz 2215B Parts list

    Hey everyone! Working on a Marantz 2215B for a friend. It's in really rough shape. Power amp has a couple of blow output transistors, and the tuner section loads the power supply. Couldn't find an exact culprit in the tuner section, but I've come across at least one leaky diode. All the caps...

    2215B static in left channel on FM

    I recently got this 2215B. One channel was weak and distorted, I'm almost positive it was the right channel. I swapped the output transistors side to side, the problem moved to the other channel. I didn't see any evidence of burned components, and the bad channel sounded good (I thought) with...

    Help me choose? Marantz 2215b, 2238, 4100 - all excellent cond.

    Hey there, tune-hounds!

I already own a Marantz 2230 (which I love), but am wondering if...

    Marantz 2215b or Pioneer SX-780?

    My dilemma is that I've currently got the Marantz whereas a SX-780 can be made available to me for $140, but I've only got use for one receiver at the moment (wife, practicality, etc.) In everyone else's experience, which one should I end up with? It'll be hard for me to let go of that...

    Marantz 2215B P700 question

    Hello all, Looking to AK for a solution to a problem I am having. On the P700 amp board there are two "lamps" (M701 & M702 / IN1006035 lamp, 6v). They appear to be ballast for the PNP output's bias (H709 & H710) The board I am servicing is missing one. The current draw on the one I do have is...

    In at the shallow end. 2215B recap and such

    So I got this goodlooking girl, with an Akai receiver, for cheap. A recap was in my mind already and after switching the thing on (onB&O variac) it lacked all the lights but there was sound. With plops and cracks. First inspection underneath did show nice soldering and no cold solder joints...

    Marantz 2215B popped it's top

    So, there I was.... I'm super stoked after a wildly successful 2250B recap last week. I carefully choose my next victim, the sweet little 2215B that has been waiting patiently for some lovin'. Very methodically (as all you fantastic gurus recommend) I start with the: Tone board: Recap, test...
