marantz 250 amp early 70s
 
Here's some pics of a Marantze 250 I'm working on. It was a real mess and
had been droped. I straitend the cabinet and repainted everything etc... I
replaced every electrolytic and several other type caps and resistors. I
rebuilt the powere supply relay and replaced three transistors.

wow, looks like lots of work, despite the fairly open look of the various
boards. You had to completely take one out?

Yea I had to go over it all. The main failure was that a number of carbon
comp resistors went south in the HV circuits and the voltage went way up
frying a few transistors etc... So I replaced all the carbon comps and most
of the capacitors minus the mica types which all tested good. The circuit
boards are all very robust being about 3/16" thick with heavy trace. It's a
nice well designed amp. I rebuilt the power supply relay too and hope it
works? I give it the smoke test tomarrow!

I remember those amps. They were good ones.
