    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 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...
