    q-3535 and sp-220

    Thanks Sansuiman !! Pretty much have accepted the fact won't find real knobs, or reproductions. I'll looked it over and take some measurements, and see what might from the site... make some close equivalents. Appreciate the help !

    q-3535 and sp-220

    Realize this is an old thread...but I finally took the time to get my Q-3525 running. Didn't do full blast rebuild, but fixed what needed to be fixed, and replaced some tubes. Really wanted to keep it near original as possible. Love it. Still need the white small knobs. Anyone make repo's ?

    MX110- Thoughts

    I would guess we all try different settings, and can look for different results based on what we might prefer. I personally don't use loudness, rather have other options for tone control, if needed.. Also depends on the speakers used, or the amp, the sound source. etc etc. Lots of variables.

    q-3535 and sp-220

    I have a Q-3525 that I've had for several years waiting on the shelf, and now am going to restore it. It's probably an impossible task, but would like to find a set of the small white plastic knobs (volume controls) I have two, but are cracked. OR a source of knobs.... for something close to...

    Bluetooth a Marantz?

    A blue tooth unit like the HARMON KARDON BTA 10 with RCA cable ENDS can be used. Must pair up your music source with the Harmon Kardon. Use the "aux" or "tape in" on rear panel jacks to connect.. Look at a youtube video on the HK

    Is this Marantz ownership timeline accurate

    Interesting read though, for Marantz fans like me. I'm interested in 1980 and older, and it seems roughly correct from my experience of owning many of the Marantz components, and looking at them from the inside of the chassis.

    LEDs or incandescent lamps, which do you use in your vintage gear?

    STEREOS: Have gone to white LEDs for Marantz dials, and still incandescent for indicators. Like the obvious advantages to LEDs of longer life, cooler running, and in cases lighting is better. Don't care for the blue ones. The LEDs for indicators are not in great supply at decent prices. I use...

    2270 Questions

    The 2270 phono board typically needs recapping, new transistors, etc. etc. Pretty common for the early 2270's

    Vellum or no Vellum.

    I always replace the vellum. The vellum is actually acts as a diffuser that helps for an even distribution of the lamps light. On some Marantz dials with a dark lens strip, with white LEDs it can look like several lamps rather than even overall lighting. Just my experience anyway.

    2325...One of the top models Marantz every made. Power to burn down the house. Get it "tuned up" correctly, and it will be very enjoyable show piece.

    What's the deal with Marantz?

    I've been restoring and dealing in Marantz for many years. My experience is that Marantz seems to be in more demand than ever. Prices are considerable higher now, than 10-15 years ago. Nice one's are of course, hard to find. Just depends on the budget, which one to buy. Even the lower powered...

    Marantz St-8 Tuner

    Yes, have both of the Esotec tunes and a 2130...... for well over 10 years. Am always amazed with the sensitivity of the tuner. I remember the first time I used one of them. At first I couldn't figure out what the sort of "rustling" sound was...after a while I finally figure out it was the DJ...

    Marantz 2270 power button sticks "in"

    Very common to have power switches go bad on 2230, 2245, 2270's. Fairly easy to replace...done dozens over the years. Once in a while the black plastic grommet will come lose from the face plate, and can bind with any of the face plate controls. Go ahead and replace power switch. At most, a $20...

    What OS Do You Currently Use?

    Windows 10. Had it since it came out. Works fine. Just had to get used to Win. 8 then 10. After a while it's no big deal. Have it on 4 laptops/PC. I did find out some older printers are NOT compatible with 10..... and won't be. And have one android tablet.

    I currently have a 2230 serial no. 6614 (1972), and it has a screen printed face plate, but has a gold anodized chassis (rather than silver chassis) ... like many gold chassis I've seen with engraved face plates on early 2270's (have an engraved face plate 2270 now) A number of years ago, maybe...

    Have one for maybe 10 years. Mine was gone through before I got it. No idea who did the work. I've used various amps, tuners, and tuners with it. It's on the shelf right now, resting. As recall there's two versions. Mine's a Z series as I recall. It is the later model ? Been a trouble free...

    Cordless tools and batteries

    Been using the 18v Rigid cordless for a couple of years. Batteries last fine and drills have been very dependable. Have the regular dill, and the hammer drill. Use them for home use and have flipped a couple of houses with them. Would buy again.
