Vintage electronics repair.

[tcarcio]

Hey there fellow Worcesterite! I'm a little west of you now though my son and his fiancé just bought the house in Worcester where I grew up and I'm there in the city for them (and for lunch at Maury's Deli or Bushel & Peck) fairly often.

Well congrats to your son and his soon to be. I hit the Peck every once in awhile. I am on the outskirts near the Shrewsbury line.

Thanks, tcarcio!

Curiously enough younger son (the one with the fiancé) and I are tomorrow heading down to a friend mine in Brookfield CT. His business is repairing audio equipment, primarily things like old Fender, Marshall and other amps for musicians, Bell Audio Lab, LLC. He's going to take a look at a 1970's vintage Marantz receiver (2280?) that my son found in the cellar of my parents' home he bought. I think it belonged to my late nephew who had lived there for a time.

 

[tcarcio]

Love the vintage gear. The Marantz were some of the nicest looking of their time,IMO.

[KenM10759]

Turns out the one we dropped off today was the exact same one as you show, a 2270. Really nice looking units and very desirable for the aficionado. Not sure if it can be fixed but my pal Andrew will give it his best attempt. He says he wont fix it with cheap parts and shops carefully because there's a LOT of counterfeit I.C.'s and other supposedly "new old stock" parts out there. He won't do it if he can't warranty the parts and labor. My kind of guy.

 

[tcarcio]

Well hopefully he can fix it but if not don't toss it. There is a vintage audio museum in CT that may have a place on a shelf for it. I just gave them an old cassette deck that they may display. I think your friend will find a way to fix it though. Fingers crossed....

 

[AVisualGeek]

I used to know someone real good that moved to Vermont. Given, it's now MA, but there wasn't anything he couldn't do. Problem is he changed his cell number and never told anyone >_<

Hi. I am an audio technician based in extreme southern Vermont (Putney, exit 4 off 91). I'm still working my old job currently at a high end shop in the Boston area, but will soon open my own repair shop in Putney called Restoration Audio, LLC. Still building a website and preparing a location, but can work with anyone who needs repairs on virtually any brand of gear, including tube and solid state audio gear and even guitar amps. Thanks! you can reach me at fuller.sound at that hotmail thing.

Thanks for letting is know.

I will keep your Email on file. Please post again when you have your website up. I hope you get enough trade to stay busy and make a living!
