Hi Marantz experts, does anyone have a capacitor list they could share from a Marantz 3300 pre amp restoration? Wondering what the best film caps are to use on this one I have replaced all the electrolytic already with Vishay axial caps cheers!

Just reviewing the manual and boards, Are these yellow caps +/- polarised as the manual suggest? They look like bipolar films to me? They do have the black dash on one side but so do the other films in this amp on the photo board so thought I better double check before replacing them

The black line indicates the outside foil of a metalized film capacitor.
Thanks Leestereo I’ll replace them with films I thought as such but the service manual shows them as electrolytic with +- markings
I still have and use this 3300 daily (i rarely power it down).

Cheers thanks for sharing! Looks like you used similar caps to what I’m planning (vishay and wima)
She’s sounding sweet! recap was pretty straight forward! Is it normal for these preamps to have a thump on power on through the speakers? I know it has no relay circuit for this and this is common on some of the earlier integrated Marantz integrated and receivers but I can’t recall if this preamp had this “feature” prior to recapping as it’s been many years since I used it last until today cheers!

If your amp is on already when you turn on the 3300, then ya, there's probably going to be a thump.
Turn your preamp on first, then turn on the amp - the amp is where the relay is at.
Then when powering down, power off amp first, then preamp off.
Or do like I do, never turn them off except for moving or maintenance.

Cheers thanks dingman really impressed with how this preamp sounds much more alive than the sansui ca2000 I was using previously
