I have a 1060 that I “refreshed” about 1 year ago. Replaced all electrolytics, transistors ETC. Works great. The other day I picked up a pair of Marantz MA700 for free. I put them on my bench, hook up a pair of junk speakers, and a computer to play some music through to make sure nothing was...

I agree LOL but, when you have a old wood grain pioneer TT, KG4 speakers in oak finish the brown cover does look more "natural" in that set up. Still ugly :eek:

Just picked up & listening to Mobile Fidelity half speed master of Pink Floyd's " Dark side of the Moon" Outstanding!

I don't have any before and after pics, but I can tell you after replacing all electrolytic caps, a few resistors, and a few transistors it sounds amazing. I have a few other Marantz amps, this was the first one I purchased. The right channel went out about two weeks after I bought it. I...

I picked up two pioneer turntables a while back for $40.00 each. PL-A35 & PL112-D. Both in great shape. The dust covers are pristine. Now, in my house they gather dust. As a teenager I use to just wash my dust covers with whatever was handy. I do not want to scratch or cloud these. I Would like...

Hi, I had the same problem with a Marantz 1030. Once it began I thought I guess it's time to learn how to repair these things. I did use the shotgun approach and replaced all capacitors beginning with the amp board, P700 since I isolated the problem to that board.. That corrected the problem. I...

I recently did a refurb on a 1030. It had a cover over the phono board , I think it's the P900. I was wondering why the 1060 didn't have one?

I know it's been a while but had to put this project down for a while but it's finished now and I thought I would let everyone know. All covers need to be on to eliminate the phono hum. Once I put all covers on the hum is gone, remove the top cover it comes back, remove the bottom cover and it's...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KQ6PR6K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have a deficit in my left hand due to a stroke limiting my use of a manual solder sucker. I purchased this from Amazon and it works great! A bit pricy but worth it

My error, I have two BNC to RCA cables for my signal generator, faulty cable. I took a break, came back hooked everything up, then it was the right channel. Got rid of that cable and both channels are sweet!:whip:

Also, I've been searching forums for an answer, I have not found one yet but I see several threads discussing this adjustment and some talk about having an 8 ohm dummy load hooked up while doing this adjustment?? Attached is the section out of the service manual on how to do this adjustment, it...

Hi all Finishing up a re-cap I started months ago. I was performing the "power amp adjustments" the voltage adjustments are fine, 7.5 v on right and left channels, they adjusted very nicely. Then I attached my scope to the right channel, applied a 1k sine wave as I increased amplitude the top...

Now that I keep listening to it,it's really not a hiss, it's that "air" sound like when the volume is really cranked up but there is no signal, nothing playing, weird. I'm still trying to find time to replace output tyrannies I blew on a 1060 a few weeks ago during amp adjustments. Wish I had...

Hello all,I replied this post on one of my other post but I meant it to be here so.... Question, The amp in this thread, a Marantz 1030. I finished re-capping it on Oct 19th, 2017. I checked for hum or noise at that time. 8ohm speakers attached, nothing playing, full volume and only a very faint...

Hello all, Question, The amp in this thread, a Marantz 1030. I finished re-capping it on Oct 19th, 2017. I checked for hum or noise at that time. 8ohm speakers attached, nothing playing, full volume and only a very faint hiss if your ear was against the speaker. This amp has seen use everyday...

Thanks dr, just clicked on the link and there is a statement on his site ... "Due to overwhelming work load I am limiting my rebuilds and repair to McIntosh and Vintage tube, sorry no updates and rebuilds for Pioneer, Marantz, and Sansui at this time." Bummer, oh well, keep looking:dunno:

Thanks very much Dingman, I looked over those, I guess I should have looked deeper before I purchased. I think I could do the work, I have the equipment, but then I think, "what if something goes wrong, then it will cost even more to repair". Does anyone here have any recommendations on who...

I just picked up a Marantz 240, probably paid more for than I should have, but I’ve been wanting one for a while and this one is all original parts and very mint condition. Recapping will probably take place after the New Year. In the mean time I was searching Audiokarma to learn from others who...

Looking to replace the trimmer pots R723, R724,R729,R730 in a 1060 amp. Looking for good replacements, preferably from Mouser. I found a thread the other night with suggestions, but I didn't bookmark it and now I can't find it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Keith

I am ordering transistors this weekend, I thought I may as well replace the trimmer pots also, any suggestions on a Mouser part # for R723,R724,R729,R730 Thanks Keith

Thanks for all the input and condolence's LOL. While I wait for transistors from Mouser I'm making some mini grabbers , meter leads, and alligator clips that are completely insulated except for the point of contact , What's hard to swallow is that I had everything very safe except when I wasn't...

All right, finally had some time to work on the blown 1060, I removed the output transistors, and guess what..... Blown, shorted, So at this point I really don't want to change the type so I checked on mouser for a replacement for these Hitachi 2SC897 the replacement I came up with is a On Semi...

I'll say, lots of energy, the spot on the chassis where the probe toughed looks like a model rocket just took off and left a blast area :biggrin:
