Hello Art of Sound,
I've joined this site to find out about maintaining and servicing vintage Marantz separates and upgrades for a Technics SL-1210mk2.
I currently own a late 70's Marantz 300DC amp, 3650 preamp, 2130 tuner and 5030B cassette deck. The 300DC and 3650 has had a bit of work done (recapped and serviced) but the 2130 is original and the 5030B has just had the drive motor replaced.
I also have the Marantz Esotec SM7 amp, SC7 preamp, ST7 tuner and a PMD351 CD/cassette deck. All of these separates are original and, whilst they all work, they need a bit of TLC.
I've been lucky enough to track down the original Marantz RM-3100 racks to mount everything in.
The Technics SL-1210mk2 is a 2006 model, in very good condition,and I've just bought a SME 309 tonearm for it. I've got a few Mike New goodies on order and now I'm trying to work out with external PSU to get.
I'm looking forward to learning about what I need to do upgrade/service/maintain all theses toys.
Cheers, Scott
