    newbie requesting help with 2215B restoration

    trying to relive my youth, I recently acquired a couple of 2215B receivers - according to the seller, one is working and one is not. I figured for $100 it was worth a shot and give me something to learn one. I cut grass all summer in my neighborhood and saved every penny to purchase a new...

    Marantz Output Transistors

    I am trying to replace bad output transistors (2SD313D & 2SB507D) on a Marantz 2215b. I read previous threads that recommend MJE15030 (NPN) & MJE15031 (PNP). Since these are no longer available, I was hoping the MJE15030G & MJE15031G transistors would be suitable replacements...

    Antenna advice, Marantz 2215B

    Have this unit, substantially restored, sounds lovely. But I don't get much tuner reception, FM or AM, despite being in an urban area. Have the usual loop antenna. Any suggestions for a better antenna (not excluding an outdoor one)?

    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...

    Marantz 2215b questions

    Just acquired a recapped, re-fused and generally restored unit. Sounds great. Couple questions: 1) I’m using a cheap loop fm antenna which I suspect could be improved upon. Recommendations? And is it recommended to use the 75 rather than 300 ohm antenna input? 2) Thoughts on using the tape...
