Smokes? That is indication of serious electronic damage if I understand your post correctly. Thus, the 2285 is the least expensive to get operating well.

the on/off switch sparks then the unit runs. I don't leave it on for more than a couple of seconds. I think the issue is the switch.

Thanks.

  Right, Marantz on-off switches are notorious. But if that's the major issue with the 1060, it might be a good candidate for restoration. It has the same design power amps as the 2230 receiver, and they have capacitively coupled outputs; which works better with some speakers from the late 60's/early 70's.

    it will play but the on/off switch is screwey. Sometimes it sparks a little.
    
    Thanks
