marantz 1200b
« on: April 07, 2010, 11:57:01 PM »
This is beautiful piece of japanimation... It needs fixed though. The relay is all fubar'd and one channel in the pre is non-existent. This amp has sentimental value. It's the first quality piece my dad bought. My parents have stories of me getting crazy with the attenuator at 5 years old. I'd like to fix this amp, but I don't have the know how. Any help??
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Anybody want to take a stab at this? I have a buyer lined up, but I know I'm going to feel regretful after selling it.

I've decided to hold off selling this piece. I would really like to get it repaired, so if anyone wants to take it on, let me know. I don't think  it'll be that big of a conquest and I'm willing to pay for the work.

I think I was drunk the last time I tested this thing. The preamp is fine... So, anyone want to throw in a relay for me? ID on the relay coil is as follows: Schrack RL 900 163.
