    Marantz 2220 recap - recommended capacitors

    With Elna Silmic II capacitor no longer available, can you advise what are your recommended capacitors brand and series (available in Digi-key, mouser) while retaining the warm sound/character of this receiver? Also, is there any difference in part between this and 2220b? Thanks in advance.

    Marantz 2220 Meter Light Replacement

    Anyone here know an easy way to access the meter housing light? I've been able to get to the main set of lights from the back by removing a couple parts that were in the way since accessing from the front was difficult. As for the meter lamp housing there doesn't seem to be an easy way to access...

    Marantz 2220 tuner string noise

    I have cleaned and relamped my Marantz 2220. All is working great except when I move the turner up and down the dial, at some points there seems to be some very light resistance where is sounds like the string is making binding noises. Not very loud but audible for sure. I have looked and all...

    Marantz 2220 makes wind noise after being on for 2-3 minutes

    Marantz 2220

    I recently bought KSC1845FTA transistors to replace on my P500 board to hopefully get rid of the hiss. Any pointers replacing them? I read a thread somewhere about polarity or making sure they are installed the correct way because sometimes the board labeling is wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

    Marantz 2220: Need help troubleshooting hiss

    I have been working on restoring a Marantz 2220. AK link to restore. Overall it sounds pretty good. I notice that there is more hiss (than my other Marantz units) when the volume is all the way down. It does not matter which input selection it is on (AM/FM/PHONO/AUX) the hiss is there at 0...

    A nice 2220 becomes a great 2220 !

    I got this nice 2220 for a very reasonable price on our local auction site.... I was happy to see it was all original, even the adjustment pots still had their factory seal untouched. The only thing wrong was with the lights : the previous owner tried to change them but made a mess with the...

    New restore project, Marantz 2220 (the sequel)

    So I was watching the local Craigslist for my next 'project'. A non-working Marantz 2220 came up. I contacted the seller about what was broken and he gave me a link to AudioKarma thread. This unit has been here before but was unsuccessful. I will document the progress in this thread, and...

    another Marantz 2220

    Just got this in the mail today, from our swiss auction site. It seems the 2220 still flies under the radar over here, I got it for a nice price. It all works nicely but needs a good cleaning. one lamp is out and something must have happened to the vellum paper, part of the display is obscured...

    Marantz 2220b Sizzling?

    I recently picked up a very good condition Marantz 2220b to use with my Klipsch KG3s. I have to say it is the best sounding receiving speaker combination I've ever heard, at least in my experience as a young audio enthusiast with not much to invest in this hobby! Anyhow, although all stages...

    Marantz 1030/1060 P700 Board Replica

    Hi, I bought this Marantz 1060 "in perfectly working condition" ;) recently. Don't ask for the price I paid :eek:. What I saw inside however, was a P700 board devastated by some “criminal” and a baked transformer (you know the smell). As you can see from the pictures, there are lots of burnt...
