Just had a great wash in with our Canadian Brothers

That MW is the first I've seen like that - the components remind me of some of the props used in old Sci-Fi movies or shows, they're huge.

PhilR - nice prize!!!!

Cold weather but the sunshine makes it look easier to handle, always. Fun times were had by all, I see.

I completely missed this thread! I guess I was too busy with my new toys from Jon and Greg!! The very nice Panasonic blender is from Greg! Something I wanted for a while!!

 

I bought some Advent speakers similar to those Jon has. They're a bit newer but that's OK, they're "period correct" to match with the receiver and turntable which happen to be my age, 1977 models! The large ones sound very nice. 

 

I just had to replace a few lights and caps in the receiver.  The lights aren't correct (12 volts too dim) but I ordered a new set of 200 MA 8 volts as I could only 250 MA 8 volts locally and these are apparently too hot (I saw one of Jon's posts about that on Audiokarma!).

Marantz 2275 Multiplex problem

I have a Marantz 2275 with some issues. I got it off Ebay along with 4 other vintage receivers, but that's a whole other story. The first thing I found when I went to replace the dial lamps was the plastic housing for the indicator lamps was MELTED! Not a good sign. Then , the FM indicator...

That is a sweet

set up Phil! So glad the 2265B was an easy fix its  a nice unit! Cant wait to hear it all in person, Phil on my 2325 switched to the Led bullet lamps, did you look into those? Nice lamp no heat to warp components.

I have looked at leds, I almost ordered a set, probably will eventually! How many leds are in each of yours? 2, 3 or 6?

wow... funny I don't recollect seeing this thread either before today

Phil if I remember

correctly, theres 5 in my 2275 and 6 in the 2325.

 

I had to get a whole new lamp buss for the 2325 as the original lights melted old buss. Thats a messy job because you have to work around all the dial structure if you don't want to be disassembling it.

I meant how many LEDs in each bulb!  Many on eBay have 3 or 6 inside them.

OhI don't know Phil

I might have some spares I'll look when I get back home.
