It's good to have you back creating new content. Your channel is an escape oasis to temporarily take our minds off all the ongoing craziness and take us back to a simpler time. Please keep up the excellent work!

picking one of these up later today, was repaired by a good tech 2 years ago, can't wait. Back in 1974 I bought a new 2220 just before starting college. Gave it to my sister in 1978 after I graduated and bought better equipment. Should have kept that 2220.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Man, you are going to love it! The 2265 is a perfect example of everything Marantz was back in the day. Good luck with her!

[@MichaelYates]

Excellent, thank you

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Jus got a 1530 from a thrift store for $15, only a wisp of smoke, no big fire so I figure I'm doing good. Been watching these videos an I think I understand... power of positive thinking. I got this, pretty sure I know what a "cap" is, one them round doodads.

I own a 22 65 my friend gave me it was cutting out all's I did was cleaned out all the pots and all the switches and it works great it don't cut in and out at all it sounds great I'm just going to wait and nothing happens to it I'll keep listening to it until I can find somebody that will rebuild it for me I've been looking but until then I'm going to keep rocking

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Buy your friend a beer! He gave you a great receiver.

I have a 2275 and I absolutely love it.. it's due to get recapped though, had one fail and cause a hum, i just replaced that one and I really should do the rest. I think I may have a similar problem with the protection relay, though the sound continues after i hear a click... and to make my troubleshooting life harder, it only does it a couple times a month

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Thanks for sharing. The vintage audio gear from this era will outlive all of us.

[@saigovind2002]

Hi I am regular watching your you tube chanel, and really like your explanation, this Marantz repair you told that it was little crack, I wish to see those type of repairs closely 9n camera, also wish to see cleaning kit closely to get something similar in my country. Thanks God bless you 🙏

My 2265 had a 60Hz-ish hum with some harmonics 120Hz, etc. I replaced the filter caps with no change. I had finally found it to be the relay contacts were bad. So I replaced the relay and all the bulbs, since most were burnt out. I didn't change all the other caps. It sounds really good on my Paradigm Studio 100v3 towers, but I will be checking this DC offset, just out of curiosity. Here's a video of me checking the relay. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJiriY2ApdiViasfeature=shared

I bought a non working Sansui 9090DB many years back. I always liked to tinker with radios so I thought I would give this a try. I got it to work by simply replacing a fuse, but the right channel would cut out when it warmed up. Took me a couple of weeks but finally found the problem. A hair line crack in the circuit board. Who would have thought.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Good Find. Those type of problems can be hard to figure out.

[@AlessandroFalcianialfa]

Amazing...

[@mattiasthell822]

Very good video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Thank you 👍

[@70smarantz61]

Those are the most annoying things... man oh man. I had the problem with hum from time to time on a 33... drove me nuts. Nice videos! Still waiting on that 10B tho! Cheers

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Thanks! I know that 10B sit's on the shelf and thinks the same thing. When is it my turn? LOL

[@scottwhite2757]

Great upload,, Thank you.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching.

This was the 2nd New Marantz I purchased. It was almost half of list price, $319.00, but it was close to the last production run. Generally these ran 499.00 to 549.00 when it first came out, great machine , better than the 'b' version in my opinion. These were made 1974-late,1976, but sold until about early 78 as mid wattage sales started to tapper off, the 2285 was the hot item or the 2325 is you could handle the price. Best sounding under 100 watt I have ever owned.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with the equipment.

[@juliocubias9600]

Nice !!! You mentioned that a crack on the board was the problem, I assume an electric fracture on the PCB was triggering the relay ?

[@maxpower78-15]

Im dreaming of a marantz Christmas

[@vintageaudioaddict]

It would be sweet sounds.

Owner of 2265b Near top of receiver generation heap. ,👍

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Sure is!

[@csm9842]

Buen trabajo !

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Thank You!

[@robertdavis5714]

Would have liked to seen the crack in the board you fixed. Ironically, my 20 yr old HK has been acting up, removed cover and inspected, low and behold crack in board.

[@thanks4372]

Beautiful receiver and awesome job on the restoration! However, you said the THD from this unit was 0.3% but the brochure you showed listed it at 0.08%. 🤔

[@j.t.cooper2963]

That was the 2265 B.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

The 2265 in the video was spec'd at .3%. The 2265B that I spoke briefly about was spec'd at .08%

[@Audiogeek-kf2ez]

Sorry , wrong 2265, the 2264 was 75/76, the 2265B was 77-79, the 2265 have about 10k made in various production runs. The 2265b had about 55,000 once the 3 years of production. My first new power full Recievers. Paid 319.00 plus Minnesota state tax. Sold in 91 , an idiot for selling. Loved this reciever
