Hi everyone, recently a friend of mine gave me this Marantz CD 273 for free. Initially it didn't even recognize the discs, but after cleaning it with compressed air, the lens seems to work just fine.
However, the analog output is heavily distorted and corrupted, it sounds almost like a laundry machine. Under all that mess I can slightly hear some music, but it's very very hidden. Digital out on the other hand is fine, as you can hear in the video. Who can be the first suspect here? TDA1541?
Thanks in advance
Mattia

This sounds like a win to me! Isn't it going to crumble to dust as soon as you touch it? Put a DAC on it and see if it lasts out the year?
That big heat sink is for the single 7805 Vreg?
