Marantz-ophiles: Help with 4230 receiver?
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.
What are isolation cones?
[QUOTE=topspeed]The feet are pretty tough to find although you'll see some pop up on ebay every once in a awhile. I just bought some isolation cones and stuck them under my 2230 as it was easier and cheaper than trying to find exact matches.
Thanks for the reply...one question, what are isolation cones, and where do I get them?
I think I understand why these receivers are so popular--they
feel and look like well crafted, solid machines, and the sound is so musical. Looks like
getting parts on Ebay is a pretty popular and expensive sport.
