    Marantz 2275 P700 Diode Questions

    I am in the process of restoring a Marantz 2275 and I noticed that on the P700 amp boards there are two red/green "diodes" installed across J703 and J709 and J704 and J707. Two other 2275's I restored did not have these "diodes". I looked online at various pictures of the P700 and yes, some...

    Sonos Port with Marantz receiver

    Hi, I hope someone with knowledge of the Sonos Port might be able to provide an answer. I'm thinking of adding a Port to my system, in order to sync it up with some Sonos players in other parts of the house. I'm in a bit of a quandary how I would connect it. As I see it, there are two options...

    Marantz 6170 TT Feet Compatibility

    I’ve got a Marantz 6170 with one defective foot. Apparently the feet are unobtainium. Does anyone know of any other Marantz TT feet that are a fit? The TT1060 for instance? I know I could buy third party upgraded feet but frankly I don’t want to put $100 into this TT.

    Hi All, Entry level enthusiast here. I was happy to score some Mission Argonauts off craigslist this week and went home to hook the 2 speakers up to marantz 4100 only to realize the speakers are 4 ohm and the amp is rated as 8 ohm. I've done some reading and it seems opinions are conflicted...

    I recently made a post about a model 26 that blew fuses, and found that the filter cap was shorted, I decided to do a full recap due to the age of the capacitors (60's grey elna) and now the thing powers up just fine. Now that it works there is another problem, no sound in the right channel. I...

    2252B Replacement faceplate?

    Hey all, While returning home from the shop today with my beloved 2252B (just received new lighting and a routine cleaning), the worst possible thing happened - a car in front of mine stopped short and the unit flew into the seatback in front of it. The top/bottom right corners of the faceplate...

    I completely recapped these 3800’s

    I have been considering doing the Burr Brown Opamp upgrade. They sound pretty special now. Does replacing the opamp make a notable difference. Driving a 250m and a 510m.

    My substitution list states 2N3440 as the replacement but I bought 2 and they both burned up. In an AK thread I saw that the KSC2383 is a substitution. Does anyone know? I have those in stock.

    Hi guys, I’m facing an issue with one of my 170DC vu meter. It moves, but in a sticky way, it’s slow to come down, doesn’t move freely in the beginning of the scale, …. I tried to unscrew a bit the little screw, heat it up with my iron … it corrects the problem with heat but as soon as it...

    Marantz 115B Help

    Hello, Just reaching out and hoping a fellow 115B owner can help. I was recapping the PS01 board and stupidly didn't take a photo beforehand. When reattaching the board, I noticed some of the flimsy wires came detached. I have no clue where they all go since they are all different colors and...

    What is the correct impedance for Marantz Imperial 6 phenolic tweeters?

    I recently found a pair of Imperial 6G’s for a very reasonable price (about 40$). The tweeters had suffered the fingers of destruction and were essentially missing the dust cap, so I ordered the supposedly drop in replacement, the GRS PRT-8 phenolic tweeter. However, the impedance of the old...

    Marantz 2226 Advanced Diagnosing..

    Hi AK'ers! Hoping for both some general and maybe more specific advice on diagnosing receivers. I'm fairly new to the vintage audio game, and so far my method has been "recap and listen" with some luck tracking down bad transistors, resistors, etc. The work I've done has so far turned out...

    Marantz 1120 testing

    Happened across a Marantz 1120 for sale by chance yesterday. Previous owner told me it had some channel balance issues and a scratchy volume pot so I'm cautious to let it drive my speakers since I only have one set currently. I've had some vintage stuff in the past, but nothing I'd invest much...
