My OCD brain says: Take that 2325 out of its case, flip it over, take off the base, and spray the tape monitor switch and mode selector until everything works as it should.
My lumbar spine says: Are you crazy?...
Happy elder holidays!

Yeah, 50 pounds!!!! That was one BIG reason I moved away from big receivers like my Marantz 2230. And a lot of the McIntosh gear that precipitated many a hernia and an unkind word.
Do it, do right, do in once!

it isn't that heavy. I did a 2230 recently and those pots and switches clean up nice.Big diff in sound and the controls move much easier with far less resistance. I'd clean them all while you're in there.E

There is a BIG difference between a 2325 and 2230. I am not sure it is 50 lbs but suspect it comes close. The weight difference between my Sony 60 watt and 30 watt receivers as well as my similarly powered Philips is enough that I can just slide or carry the big boys only short distances while even the smaller receiver are difficult but manageable. My Sherwood SEL200, at only 40 watts is too heavy to do more than slide. It is one reason I am more focused on integrated amps with separate tuners, each lighter than a similar receiver.

I forgot the 2325 is 125/ch and does weight a lot. 49.5 pounds. Somehow I saw 22XX and said its a lower power unit and weighs only a little over 20 pounds.

My wife and I did it together, me walking backwards as we weaved through the house! 50 lbs is right at my back strain limit and I already have had one hernia repaired...if it wasn't in a case I could turn it over without wrestling it out of the case.
