Power switch substitution for Marantz 2270

Whatever you do when you get the 2270, be sure to open it up and clean the relay.

Yes I'm doing that on Monday. I did rebuild the protection board with all new caps. This unit has FM Stereo issues, i.e. no stereo light. The bulbs are good. The FM bulb is also out and I'm wondering if that's the reason the Stereo light won't come on. The muting circuit is also messed up. It mutes everything regardless of where the rear adjustment is. Since the owner isn't interested in FM, and doesn't want to spend the money to troubleshoot it, I'm probably going to leave it as is. Amp puts out 100Wrms across 8 ohms one channel driven.

That switch on Fleabay may not be a perfect fit. There is a repair site that shows what appears to be the same universal switch. The hole spacing may be different, and the shaft part that the knob/button slides on also. You may have to do some modifications to make it fit. They have another one for $7.75 that looks like it has a wider screw spacing, but the shaft is thinner (their description) too. Just a heads up. Links if they work.[http://tiber63.com/marantz-2270-power-switch-replacement#!/][http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Switch-Marantz-Model-1060-Marantz-2270-and-others-BRAND-NEW-/330676882112?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item4cfde0cac0][http://www.ebay.com/itm/Marantz-Power-Switch-OEM-Quality-It-just-works-/170766737025?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item27c27d9e81]

The ebay one worked fine. Already installed. The sub plate on this receiver has multiple holes for different switch screw width spacing....End cap installed with shims.
