Marantz 2245 replaceing power switch - need helpsegmex says... Greetings, new to the forumsi inherited my grandfathers 2245 in excellent working condition and i use it regularly as part of my home theater. 2 days ago the power switch will no longer click into the on position and stay locked. i have ordered a replacement switch and while i wait for it to arrive i figured id start taking it apart. i searched the forums for a while and came up empty i may have missed it though theres alot of information here little background on me. i am an auto mechanic with an electrical background the task at hand is no problem or so i thought..... the problem is the switch looks like a PITA to get to and i have to disassemble the faceplate i have been able to remove all but 2 of the knobs the volume knob and the mid range adjuster knob I am afraid to apply to much force with a prying tool i don't want to damage the face or the knob or brake the pots. any suggestions? any suggestions for easy replacement of the power switch? pictures would be greatly appreciated. udayak says... Hi,As long as there are no grub screws holding them they will come off. Use two thin driver blades 180 degrees apart and paper or card as a cushion and prise e'm off. They can be tight, very tight ! There usually no easy way, just plenty of screws to dismantle. petarpav says... I use a tablespoon to pry off tight Marantz knobs (I put tape on the back of the spoon to prevent scratching the faceplate). |
