Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Reciever repair in San Fransisco area?

You can try Nick Gowan at True Sound in Campbell. Not sure whether he would take on a receiver or not... but he is certainly capable.

On vintage Marantz: I've restored a few , even their big quad receivers. I've also had a root canal... not sure which experience was more favourable.

They can be a bear to work on. I find that there are less and less pros willing to take on fiddly receivers, tape decks etc. They take a lot of time and finding/ sourcing equivalent replacements is half of it. Most Marantz receivers of the late 7o's used bad small signal transistors and under-rated caps that all need to be changed. .. its a labour intensive job to do it correctly.

Good luck with it.
