  • Troubleshooting a faulty Marantz 2252b using only a DMM for test equipment ( and a dim bulb tester, if you want to consider that to be test equipment). This was a lot of fun to troubleshoot, as it threw me a couple of curves along the way.

    Enjoyed the video, especially limiting your diagnostic toolkit to a decent multimeter. My teachers, in the school and in the field, always told me it was the most important tool. The ex-Army tech told me it was often his only tool (the Army didn’t allow them to use Ohmmeters).

    Thanks for taking the time to upload these videos Tony! I do tend to watch any long videos in segments, later returning approximately to the point where I left off. I'm fairly literate in Physics and Electrical/Electronic Engineering, and although we can't always trust the schematic, it is my basic 'first call' when thinking through a not-so-obvious approach to a fix.

    Hi Tony greetings from Italy, good to see you back. I was worried about you after your last video, save some peace joy and happiness for yourself.
    I look forward to your videos and i am learning a lot, although quite how a box of components can reproduce sound so accurately, remains magic to me. I have taken on a few projects myself, mostly successful although i am struggling with an ITT Schaub Lorenz International Touring 103 but I'll keep at it. The best parts for me are when you identify parts of a circuit that you particularly like or dislike and explain why, clearly you have a great depth of knowledge so thanks for sharing. It would be good to see you work on some British equipment.

    Marantz generally doesnt use the regulated supply to drive the Dial lamps or the mode lamps they use an unregulated 8V AC tap on the transformer EXCEPT for the Stereo Lamp which is driven by the MPX board from the DC regulated supply. Just a little note as a lot of rcvr's use this methodology .

  • @davorst699
    @davorst699 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    There is great way to remove that corrosive glue. Use cotton swabs with nitro thinner for paint. Just soak glue with thinner and then use some plastic tool, like ones that cell phone repair guys use. Friend of mine that was working on Sansui stuff for he's entire life and was removing notorious "Sansui glue" from every bit of PCB's used nitro thinner and worked like a charm for him. Yes i know it smells bad but it doesn't remove silk screen or solder mask or anything and you won't damage PCB like in case you are scraping glue with some sharp object. After glue is removed just use some IPA to clean PCB.

    Hi Tony. Love your videos. Learning a lot from you so thank you! Ok now for the question. Just started this hobby and the first receiver I decided to dig into is my Marantz 2252. It was working but needed cleaned bad. Pots, boards etc. Also going to recap. Now I saw in your video that you talked about the orange caps are different. (filter , dolby board) There are 8 ELNA caps. 2 are gray. I know some have different specs but is there a reason why 2 are gray. I dont want to mess up this board by putting in just any caps with the same specs unless it will not matter. Also noticed in some of the other boards they have these orange caps as well. Thank you for your help!! Take care and keep the videos coming PLEASE!

      @Internutt2023 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Those "zip tie label tags" are great for instances when you have to repeatedly remove and reconnect leads, but in this instance some paper or masking tape is MUCH cheaper, less effort, and can be quickly removed. They do make numbered label tags with adhesive backing that may work, if your connection points are marked with concurrent numbers. but plain old tape and pen is quick and cheap.

  • @jedi-mic
    @jedi-mic 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You could remove by using a heat gun like a surface mount and on the new transistor after you have cut it to its length on the pins just on the tips some solder paste, and reheat it. Your need to cover the component with some copper tape or heat shield so they don't melt their shoulder. You might want to add some pine resin as well what you can make and put it in the syringe just clean resin from the bark of the tree, mix about it with about 5% isopropylene deleted leave it's about 12 hours closed container and then slightly heated if you want a paste

    What about the missing component, was it called out in the schematic or present in the other channel? Maybe it’s that ‘lytic soldered to the underside of the board. I never liked the “B” series of Marantz 22xx receivers either, instead of a nice symmetrical build they have everything jammed over to one side.

    Hey Tony, any idea what the complement is for the KSC2383? Unfortunately its not listed on the datasheet. The original compliment to the 2SC1885 is the 2SA912, both unobtainium through known legit sources. I've used the BD139/140 pair (great for heat dissipation) but at higher frequencies (12k and up) the positive side of the wave tends to shark tooth on me far too soon in the power band. Switching frequency isn't listed on the datasheet for the BD's and the PNP is looking to be inadequate for its task. Anyway, please share if you know the compliment. Thanks...
