    SX-737 lost 90% output after toggling tape monitor

    Hey everyone! Long time reader, first time poster. Let me start by saying I have only a very little experience in audio repair. However, I’m typically a pretty capable and handy guy. I recently picked up a new to me pioneer tape deck and wanted to try it out so I hooked it up to my SX – 737 and...

    Marantz 1152DC / 1180DC - How do you clean the rotary Tape Monitor Switch

    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...

    500B TAPE HEAD/TAPE MON Input Questions

    The 500B has TAPE MON & TAPE HEAD input jacks. Are these inputs of equivalent sensitivity, more or less? I use AUX and TAPE MON; TAPE MON is significantly less sensitive. As a result I only use it with a DAC that has adjustable output to overcome that reduced sensitivity (specs for the Grant...

    Marantz 4230 Dis-Assembly questions

    Hey All, Have a 4230 I am trying to fix up and while waiting for parts I have discovered the tape monitor/source button does not engage both channels (no right), but it seems only when the selector is on 'dolby fm'. If I select FM, both channels fine. I can slowly release the tape monitor...
