2230 done

[Mike Sweeney]

Finished

This took some time with having to build a new bench and some other projects.

All new caps.. ALL of them
New micas for power transistors
New power switch
DeOxit scrubbing
1 shorted wire found and fixed
New vellum
new LEDs
Wonky attenuator switch cleaned
Faceplate scrubbed with 0000 steel wool and 409 to get of years of nicotine /tar/ gunk - then hit with mothers mag polish
Voltages adjusted
Clipping adjusted
FM was in spec.. surprisingly .. could have peaked it but decided to leave well enough alone
cleaned up some light rust, new feet etc

Sounds really nice now Good clear sound and FM is sensitive with just 300 ohm antenna.

THAT is what it’s all about. Beautiful result. Well done! I’ll bet it sounds like a million bucks.

Very nice and great job! Enjoy it

I am enjoying my newly fully restored 2245 as we speak .. love the warm Marantz sound

Nice work, I'm sure.
It's nice to see another vintage Marantz get a great refresh like that (new caps, all of them!).

Very nice. Love seeing these go back into service.
