Testing this Marantz 2285B, Quick PS board relay engagement which is good. Tested through Main in on back amp section works beautifully.
Preamp section is dead. barely any sound at all on the right channel and very distorted. Left Channel is dead. IF I press on the preamp board it will come...
Hey everyone, hope I am not breaking any rules with this first post, but I have just arrived, and I am still getting costumed (used to be more active around here, but the latest years draw my focus elsewhere!) to the AudioKarma way =)
TLDR: I need help choosing which devices to keep and restore...
Hey guys,
Hopefully someone with electronics experience can weigh in.
I am a student with an audio hobby, I managed to get some secondhand audio stuff (Mission MX4's, Magnat sub and Marantz SR 7000). I don't have any education relevant for board level repair so I'm basically free winging it...
Hello everyone, i have a problem with my Sansui G-4700. Left channel burns the RESISTORS 01 and 05. I already changed the transistors 01, 03, 05, 07, 09, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23. i changed also the 470uf 50v capacitor for the left channel. also i changed the VR07 for the bias, capacitors...
Hi guys,
I need a help with my Marantz pm6005. It started to have weaker the right channel a few months ago, than it got back to normal and now it has lost sound completely on the right channel. At the final stage it was loosing the channel for a while and than it returned. After it has...
I stayed in an airbnb a while back with a pretty basic marantz amp and table(not sure which) and some advent speakers. The sound I heard out of that system was magical to me, like a warm hug for my ear holes. After that I had to build my own system. I posted a few questions on Audio Karma, did a...
Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster here. I recently got a pretty worn Marantz 2015 (with wood case) for 50$. Main fuse (on the back) keeps blowing on power-up. I found that the output transistors were blown, so went ahead and replaced those to no avail. Still getting blown fuses.
Any...
Greetings AK,
I am losing the right channel input before the pre(PE01) regardless of input(PHONO, FM, AUX).
The unit was recapped/restored, including replacing broken Pre and Main RCA inputs in the rear, recapped Power Supply(P800), Phono(P400), Buffer Amp PH01, Dolby-Tone-Meter(PL01)...
So I have a 5030b that does everything but play.My tech says the heads are bad but someone on this site said I still should be getting noise out of speakers.
Anything else I should check?
Hey, guys,
audiokarma taught me a lot many times. I am grateful for all the help I have ever received.
I'm having a problem with a Marantz 2600 that I really don't know what else to do.
The device arrived with a burnt transformer, problems with the FM stereo (after changing the (q301)HA1156w...
Hello AK Forumites. Nubies from Alexandria, Virginia here that has been lurking awhile. Thanks to knowledgable experts I have chose to acquired a restored Marantz 2245, Marantz hd55, new old stock Advent 1s. Also have a pair of Ar2ax having woofers reconed that will driven by a just acquired...
Hello AK'ers
Hope all of You have had a great new year.
For me a very special gift by myself, a 6350q un good shape, but not working.
Well, the motor is stuck, can't be turn the shaft even by hand, according previous owner, the TT was misstreated by carrier (Fedex) and it has a hit in the...
So I have this deck that needs heads and my tech says I need the exact model to do this,well,can't find it not even a parts machine.
Can another model head be used?
I do have a great working SD4000(Marantz) that has the only problem as tapes autostop is not working.

I'm refinishing the plinth on my 6300 and I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the strobe cover. I've read pull up, rotate 90 degrees, but I'm terrified of cracking the cover. Anyone know how to safely get the thing off? Thanks!
Hi -
I hope I can get advice. We purchased a Marantz system in the late '80's and it gave us many years of good service. For the last few years it sat unused. We recently relocated and I want to get it set up in our new digs.
When I hooked if up there is no sound. I tested the speakers (not...
After my return from a month in the hospital, my Onkyo fTX-SR313 home theatre unit finally died, and I saw a couple of refurbished Marantz units that caught my eye as bucket list units for replacement, the NR1510, or the refurbished MARANTZ M-CR612 Networking CD Receiver, which would be a...
Hi Forum gurus: First time poster here...
Receiver: Marantz SR4001
Issue: Was working fine till it just died on me. I love this receiver and need help to revive if possible.
Description: Loud clicking sound when plugging in or unplugging. Nothing else. No flashing standby light. Front panel...
I have a recently acquired 1152DC Integrated amplifier. I'm cleaning the controls as they are very scratchy and touchy.
The tape monitor switch is the most problematic. It looks to be enclosed with some openings and sits right next to a circuit board.
Can someone shed light on how best to...
Howdy and Season's Greetings to All!.........I am trying to find out if the Marantz Hd880 shared the same size Vari Q plugs as the HD 550. I see a pair for sale from a set of 5500's with a 2 inch diameter description ( don't know if the foam plug was that diameter or the plate itself is that...
Hello good people!
I recently installed new diodes, caps transistors, thermistors.. on my Marantz 2270. Now my mistake is that I didn’t recird the output before I started so there’s no way of knowing i mf the problem was present before. I started on the Right channel board first and I checked...
Does anyone know the gain of a 2270 with calculations? I can’t find it on the spec sheet. I try to calculate it based on the rated output at 8 ohm but I get Gain = 100. That can’t be right, right?
Hi folks,looking for someone in Minnesota to replace belts in my Marantz tape deck.I have the belts and was prepared to do it but 1 out of the 3 screw was hard to get to on the plate protecting the big wheel and did not want to take the chance of stripping screw.
Hello AKers ! :)
First of all, sorry for my poor English, i'm a french reader of this forum.
I have a problem with my beautiful Marantz 2285B, which has been completely recapped (except FM boards, main dual-core filter capacitors and the output transistors).
When I turn it on and after the...
My 1152dc is reading very high dc offset in the left channel from the speaker terminal.
It climbs to almost 1vdc within a few minutes with the trimpot at minimum position, the right channel is ok.
So far I have replaced all 2sa872 & 2sc1775 transistors on the main amp board with closely matched...
