Had a great gathering of What’s On Your TT thread compatriots yesterday at Casa Pacifica. @mammothguy54 aka Joel caught and made Bluefin sushi and sa@nicks25 aka Nick was kind to bring a fantastic desert ;-) No Cherry pie gummed up the spinning vinyl!
Great times, wide variety of music including some recent mono purchases by Joel.
New arrivals today after stereo/record shop visit today w Nick at Blind Dog Records in H Beach. I scored a Townshend / Lane - Rough Mix reissue that sounds fantastic,,,, and a rare Susan Tedeschi - Back to the River

@sourpuss123 Ah, what to do with a bone stock bit of historic kit…..
I went down same path w my family heirloom MX-110Z and MC240….
Disuse will lead to failure and so may use as you know. Real Marantz parts are considerably more rare than Mac bits, so finding bits to retain stock could be neigh impossible… so if you do modify w new rca, etc I advise keeping the old parts ! I did ultimately decide to have both of mine modified. The MX went back to Vestal to Audio Classics where retired Mac engineer Richard Modeferi went thru it, including a factory defect. While in the unit he incorporated his “ RIMO “ filter circuit in the tuner.
the 240 went on a similar path w a master Mac tech keeping it stock but fixing a few caps and importantly worn out input RCA, pots. I fell in with a Jim Mchane mac modification dude Mike Samra of Saginaw and he went thru the amp extensively w Russian PIO, Shuko, etc…. It is a fantastic sounding amp now….. The RM-9 slightly more accurate but the 240 is closer to my heart. i remember the day it came in the door in 1965 :-)
I think Mike or Mcshane would be good people to consult with in addition to Kevin.
Best to you on your journey
|
Steve thanks for the concern. i have been busy with other things…you know ..life stuff…that pull away from music….and that will continue somewhat thru Summer…as I head North for my season of fishing…. I will check in as I’ve a hot date with my reference music system :-)
