Marantz MA500 pair $100ca - needs attention

I have a pair of MA500s
They have an issue with the front end capacitors I believe but could be a different issue. I don't have time to deal with them.
They start up and run for short periods or long periods but always at some point in time there is a gross noise that is
severe enough to blow tweeters and fuses. The noise is very similar to when we have a bad connection at the input of an amplifier.
the noise is usually activated by turning on the lights

Maybe someone would like to work on them?

$100ca including shipping in Canada SOLD
