    Voltage selector of a Marantz 2226B amp

    I changed the universal voltage selector from 220V to 240V mode on my Marantz 2226B (and also replaced all fuse lamps with leds). Several minutes after switching the amp on it produced an ugly smell and a cloud of smoke and died. Fuse F001 (1.6AT) was blown and the voltage transformer was still...

    Messed around with a Marantz 2226B now presumably … dead

    Hello. Just picked up a somewhat working but crunchy 2226B for $100. Opened to up remove 40 years of dust and clean the pots but now it’s unfortunately totally dead. Any ideas from the photo on what’s off?

    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...

    Marantz 2226B - Lights Up, No Sound

    Hello all...I'm new to site and also new to vintage equipment collecting and restoration. I recently acquired a Marantz 2226B. Plugged in and turned power on. All lights came on but no sound with any of the inputs. FM tuning and signal strength meters both fluctuate when tuning dial is...

    2226B Low Volume & Distortion Both Channels

    I have a 2226B that's new to me. It has low volume in both channels (and headphones) and distortion when the volume knob is turned up high (volume is still low through speakers and headphones). I've cleaned the pots and switched best I could without taking the board out and there's no...

    Replacing transistors in 2226B

    Hi! Im looking to replace the transistors in my 2226B, that has a lot of popping and noise in the left channel. After switching the pre-out/main-in, the noise switches to the right channel, so it has to be in the pre-amp board I guess. As stated in a previous tread, all the knobs on the front...

    Beat up Marantz 2226b bias help

    Thanks for all your help on the Marantz 140, Marantz 170dc, and the Marantz 1180dc all seemed to turn out well. I had a choice of a 2226b or a 1152dc next. The 1152dc was at the bottom of a stack and the 2226b was much more accessible, so the 2226b is it. I bought this several years ago and...

    Marantz 2226b Stereo Indicator Lamp question

    I tried to find this in pre-existing threads, but I didn't see this question addressed "head on". One thread alluded to my question, I'd just like to verify it with longtime Marantz collectors. I was recently given two receivers. They're my first Marantz receivers, but I have worked on a...

    Marantz 2226B

    Greeting, I recently picked up a Marantz 2226B for a steal. After cleaning it up and playing it few times I noticed the right channel would cut out and sometimes come back, but usually not. So I did some research and it looks like I have two bad caps on the Main Amp/Power supply board (P700). I...

    2226B Cap kit

    My 2226B is starting to have some issues and I plan on recapping it. Is there a list of the needed capacitors or will I have to go through and count how many of each is needed? Also, any advise on going about this procedure is appreciated. It will be my first overhaul.

    2226B No Power

    Greetings folks, I recently picked up a 2226B. I got it cleaned up and went to power it on and nothing. I checked all fuses for continuity and power. All checked out but no power. The only place I have power is the rear outlets. Any direction on where to look for the problem?

    Another FM hum question resolved, but don't know how...

    I have a Marantz 2226b that had developed a noticeable hum, but only on FM. 75 ohm amplified and 300 ohm wire produced same results. Aux and Tape settings produced no hum. So I pulled it from the living room setup and put in my basement dwelling Harmon Kardon Citation Eleven preamp, Pioneer...

    Marantz 2226B Oscillation(?) and Bleed Over

    Hi there. I'm another guy that just bought a 2226B to get addicted to. It came from a Goodwill and is pretty much spotless on the outside and, after a lot of reading, has some typical mono stick crackle and balance issues that deOxit will hopefully handle. The problem I can't clean away, which...
