Hey guys,
Currently reconditioning two Marantz Model 140’s. I am look for a replacement relay possibly two. Does anyone know where I can get one. Interesting fact, I spent about two hours troubleshooting the VU meters on one of these units and turns out a wire in the back where the speaker terminals connect was in fact disconnected. Was difficult to see due to the fact that it was behind the power transformer. Anyhow I love the M140’s this is my third one so far, all of which I received for free. The goal is just to replace the broken relay and change out the other in the second amplifier. Many recommend taking the relay apart clean/sanding it, which I have done. Don’t see the point in having her open and not replacing them with newer ones. All three came from the same place and are virgins, I want to keep them running like new. Meters have been calibrated, proper biased amp structure. I send my gratitude in advance.
