Recently I bought a Marantz 4230 receiver off an auction site. Thought the sound so far
seems to work beautifully, the face plate is beat up, especially around the corners where they are "dog eared"--bent back. Also two feet are missing. So my questions are these:
Any ideas about places to scavenge for parts recievers, (for a face plate)besides Ebay and classic audio?
Has anyone tried to physically repair a beat up face plate--ie, grinder, hammer out, etc. Maybe my marantz-mania has got the best of me, but it would seem feasible with the right tools and touch....?
Finally, I am curious about others' experience with this receiver. Mine has all its meters and lamp lights working, from what I understand is a minor miracle. Also any suggestions as to what kinds of speakers work well with the unit....
Thanks in advance. Natlus.
