Vintage Marantz Repairs

Hi all. I'm hoping someone here can point me to a good technician who can service a vintage Marantz 2265 receiver. I'm starting to hear crackling through one of the channels. I'm in the Jersey Shore area, about equi-distant between New York and Philadelphia but someone closer to the Shore is best. Thanks for all your help! Mike

It is probably as simple as cleaning the controls.  the volume, balance, etc. pots.  I have found that this works great and before spending money to fix something that may be relative easy to fix by sending it away. find a good electronic spray contact cleaner.  Unplug the unit for a day.  find the various pots and most of the older ones actually have access for spray to get into them.  Be generous with the spray and have at it.

enjoy

If receiver has always been used, than more likely crackle origin is caps that surely reached the time to be inspected/replaced.
