Marantz 2245 volume pot

[liam rtr]

I just purchased a Marantz 2245 that has the shaft on the volume knob busted off so that it is below the surface of the faceplate. I have an old broken Marantz 4220 that I assumed I could just take the potentiometer from and use it in my 2245.

When I pulled the potentiometer from the 4220, I realized that it is slightly different in its shape to the one in the 2245. Both receivers are supposed to have 250k pots with loudness output-I think I’m phasing that correctly. I’m not sure if the 4220 pot has different connections due to it being in a quad unit. Does anyone know if I can put the pot from the 4220 into the 2245?

I doubt if that would work. The volume pot in your 2245 was shared by the 1030, 1060, 2215, 2220, 2230 and 2270 to help widen your search.

I think I might be able to do what you did in that thread, the 2245 is currently on its way. The shaft looks as if a blade cut it off, because it is not completely broken out, but it is shorter than normal length. I’ll post some pictures when I can.
