Marantz 1030 replacement pot?
« on: 29 Jan 2016, 01:30 am »
Hello all,
      The factory pot has gotten a bit scratchy, so I cleaned it up, and it still acts up here and there. Would someone be able to advise me which pot would be a good replacement for the original 250k alps that is original? Or is there some other cleaning method I could do? I know, I know, maybe not a unit worth servicing to some people but I do enjoy this amp very much.
    Thanks much

Hello again. I went ahead and did a full recap of the unit and the six 458 transistors on the preamp board. I used Nichicon Muse caps where I could, otherwise I used their FG (fine gold) series and one KW series one the main power supply cap section. I went ahead and set the bias but have not done anything further. Just thought I would post some pictures if anyone cared.
    Thanks
