Marantz 1060 rebuild help!

[justinis]

Hello everyone; first post here! I'm doing a rebuild/recap of my dad's old Marantz 1060. As a teenager who didn't know any better, I raided the amp for parts, and now I'm stuck trying to put all the pieces back together.

My current problem is the aux/mic jacks. They were removed and I can't figure out how to reconnect them. I have the service manual, and the schematic shows the signal wires going to the input selector switch, but figuring out where exactly they solder to is really difficult. Also there's no indication where the ground wire goes.

I was hoping somebody on this forum who has a 1060 might be kind enough to open it up and take a photo of where the mic/aux wires go for me. I know that's a lot to ask but I figure if there's a forum that's got good enough vibes to make something like that happen, it's this one. Trying to explain where they go may be too hard since there are so many solder points on the input selector switch.

Here's a photo to give you an idea of what I'm dealing with:

Thanks!

If I have time tomorrow morning I'll open mine up, maybe pat font has his open still.

Thanks so much!

I got your pics however you have way more going on there than missing headphone jacks. I hope when you removed the board above the headphone jacks you clipped each wire- those thick wires have 2 wires inside. I think you are going to have quite the project on your hands judging by what I'm seeing in mine.

Thanks so much! I actually just finished putting everything back together and you're right, it was a TON of work. I actually destroyed the board that goes above the mic jacks when I was a teenager so I had to buy a new one on eBay. Reattaching those coax wires was a pain.

The pictures you sent are great but unfortunately I'm trying to figure out where the wires solder to on the input selector switch, not on the jacks themselves. I'm sorry, I should have been more clear about that. I know it's a lot to ask for more photos so if you don't want to spend the time/trouble I understand.

Actually this leads me to a testing question I was wondering if someone on this forum could offer an opinion on. I know the amp stopped 'working' 15 years ago, but I don't know what the symptoms were. I don't have a variac so if I apply power, it will be a crapshoot as to what will happen. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and recap the amp now and hope that fixes whatever the problem is, or go ahead an apply power and try to troubleshoot now.

If I troubleshoot now I risk damaging more components if one of the caps is bad. Plus I save a lot of troubleshooting time if re-capping solves whatever the issue was. But if I recap and then apply power, I risk damaging my new caps!

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

This is what you posted:

My current problem is the aux/mic jacks. They were removed and I can't figure out how to reconnect them.

That is what I took pictures of, that card above it has so many wires going to it i'd have to pull my own unit apart just to document it.

As for applying power, i'd build a dim bulb tester first before applying power.

Yeah, when I said "I can't figure out how to reconnect them," I should have said, "I can't figure out where they reconnect to." I have wires on the phono jacks so I know where those solder points are. But where the other ends of those wires go, in the amp, I have no idea. I know it's somewhere on the input selector switch (per the schematic) but finding the points is really difficult. Of course I understand it would require too much disassembly for you to find out on your unit.

Thanks for the dim bulb tester recommendation. I happen to have a bunch of high-watt resistors so I'm thinking of using them and a voltmeter to accomplish the same thing.
