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

Just had this happen today on my Marantz 2230 -pic

I got this 2230 receiver a few days ago. Not a thrift store purchase but one I paid real money for. Today, I realized one channel was playing at a lower volume, then I was turning the volume knob up past 12 o'clock and only getting half volume.
Opened up the bottom and sprayed De-oxit into volume and balance pots - accessible from underneath, and very high-quality pots I might add, similar to Alps.
Suddenly better and more powerful sounding.

While in there, I was able to see why many here on VA hold Marantz receivers in high regard.

Hope this helps others.
