The 1060 in that AK thread is looking good.
The poster who chimed in to help the restorer in that thread is the gentleman who did a stem-to-stern rebuild of my Marantz 2230, 8 years ago. I'm still delighted with the work that Catrafter (Tom) did. Paired with rehabbed Dynaco A25 speakers in my secondary system the 2230 performs quite musically with FM, phono, cassette, and CD, and looks great doing it. The cost of the rebuild was a worthy investment from my point of view.

Thanks Jim good to know there is at least one expert for those old receivers.
Actually there are quite a few guys that are restoring these things. And doing a wonderful work extending their lives.
Toms a great guy. He's the Mike Samra of the Marantz forum. Patron Saint of old Marantz receivers.
Does nice work eh!
No doubts. Tom does excellent work that is also highly respectful of the unit and its circuits, and no arrogance.Right now I'm using the 2230 as a phono stage in my main system, while my tubed George Wright unit is being serviced. It is sounding quite good, playing classical and acoustic jazz through my Audiomat Prelude Reference amp.
