Great tip.

Thanks mbz just what I need.

Oh and here she is sitting sweet. And as I sit uploading the photo the left side is cutting out again, guess I need to do a bit more research for cleaning with the Deoxit D5.

Ok before doing the test I did as I was told and exercised the balance and mono dial and button and all the channels are now working ,well except for the phono which is extremely staticky. I tried the in’s on the Main as well and both speakers separated and played as I switched them from one to...

Ok so just to be clear the pre out in your pic is not needed and I’ll be connecting my phone with tunes on it into the Main in only?

thanks yes I do have one of these , but where exactly do I plug in the rca ends?

I don’t have the wood case but I will check the screw lengths . I’ll see if I can find one of those large headphone jack adapters .

Thanks Bob I plan on pulling the top cover on my days off and see if I can identify what you’re referring too. I have been in it before to replace the transistors and one of the resistors that was blown. Lynn

Thanks guys , I’ll try all the inputs including radio ,but I think it’s the same on all inputs . What exactly is involved with cleaning the pots and switches? Do I basically remove the outer cover and spray behind the switches?

Hi guys , my Marantz 2245 has been in storage the past couple years as I was using the 2238b system but I had passed it on to a family member and now I hooked up the 2245 and tried it with a CD player, I get no speaker on the left with the mono button turned off and when I turn mono on I do get...

Thanks guys this is all great info as usual , yes I do have a dbt, you guys instructed me to make one when I was waking up my old Marantz. I haven’t had a chance to do anything with it yet. I had moved things around in the house and installed new led lites in the rec room so even my Marantz...

Hey thanks guys , I’m actually quite surprised with the high praise I’m now reading about these receivers, I had the feeling it was a good one as soon as I lifted it and felt the weight saying vintage. I will pull the cover and make sure it’s not built up full of dust.

Hi folks I was offered a Realistic sta 2000d receiver for free and couldn’t resist. I haven’t tried powering it up yet , wanted to hear from you audio peeps if I should just power it up and see what happens or what’s the advice. Looks to be well aged and is looking like it’s just missing a...

Polaris learned lots alright, they learned how to make the best riding and handling bike out there and that they were so well made and easy to maintain that they were'nt going to make much of a return on service.

Power output: 30 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) Speaker load impedance: 4Ω to 8Ω Someplace I had recalled reading that 4 ohm may not be the best thing for the old Marantz receivers because of the low resistance and may damage the receiver , is this accurate or did I read it incorrectly?
