New Marantz 4430

[writesds]

Just picked up a 4430 quadradial receiver from an estate sale for $80. As the picture shows, it is flawless and after cleaning the contacts, it sounds great. I cannot hear any sound related issues. My question is are there any known issues with this or similar models which should be proactively addressed?

Thanks,
Steve

Wow, gorgeous! Nice price too. Nothing in particular but this guy is 40-ish. Electrolytic caps will be starting to fail now and the relay will get intermittent contacts. Keep an eye on the larger main filter caps, checking for any leakage of electrolyte of bulging vents , both at the terminal end of the "cans". Enjoy that nice Marantz sound!!
