Hi All -
Apologies as I'm very clueless here... For a couple of years, I've waxed nostalgic every time I've seen a record player and talked about my much loved the vintage Marantz set up that I inherited from my dad in the early 90's (memory has never been clear but I think it was a 2200b). Throughout my teenage years, I fiddled with it and set up with different components. Unfortunately, the set up was lost at some point after I went to college. Anyways, my wife went through a lot of effort and worked with my dad to surprise me with a late sixties Marantz twenty-six and Bose 6.2 audio everywhere speakers from 1985 (same ones from my original set up).
My wife paid a fair amount for the receiver ($~300) and I'm experiencing some issues getting it set up properly and I'm hoping for some help as it is a bit of a bummer to not have it up and running after such a thoughtful gift.
1. When I press the stereo button when using phono, all the sound goes out in the right speaker and sound is only coming out of the left speaker.
2. I attached a Bluetooth receiver to the aux and it works great itself however if I have the Bluetooth unit plugged in and I switch over to phono there is "bleeding" from the aux setting (i.e. if I was listening to Spotify and the song is still running on my phone, I can faintly hear it through the speaker before I play the record). Worse still, if there is nothing playing on what had been the aux setting and I switch back to phono then there is a low squealing noise.
3. A lot of popping and crackling when I move the volume switch but I assume it just needs to be cleaned.
Any help would be much appreciated. I live in Los Angeles so if repair is necessary and anyone knows of a good person please let me know. Thanks in advance.
