Marantz face stands

[catrafter]

I've been meaning to post this for quite a while so when I needed these stands today I took a few pictures.

You will need:
4 ea countersink head 5mm screws about 35mm long
4 ea 5mm nuts to match the screws
4 'fender' washers, 2 inch diameter with a 1/4 inch hole (if I did it again I would use 1 3/4 inch diameter with a 1/4 inch hole)

Put each washer on a screw, add a nut and tighten it down. Now, whenever it would be advantageous to stand the unit on it's face for better access, screw these into the face plate bolt standoffs that are mounted on the front chassis.

Great idea! When I saw your thread title, I was thinking "Marantz Face Plant." Your invention would likely prevent such a disaster. Thanks for the good idea. I will use it.

Made a set for my 2275 resto plus added some felt pads to keep from scratching my table, too.

I don't know you- but I know of your work especially on the Marantz 2500.(I downloaded a few of those pics btw. It's on my phone screen) I had to come here & take a look. Certainly not disappointed. Awesome idea.
