Marantz PM66SE

[Brian_x]

Hi im wondering if anyone can help me??

I have a 1996 marantz PM66SE amplifier, and yea i know its getting on now but its been a cracking amp for years and dont really wanna go sheding out for a new one...

Basically, it randomly "turned off" a few weeks ago; replaced the internal fuse and following that a few days later it "turned off" again! I have had the transformer out today and it seems the primary windings have gone down 🙁

Ive emaild a "Marantz" service center to try and gain a replacement but does anyone have any experience with with this type of amplifer??

Particuarly the voltage/current outputs from the transformer??

Or where i could gain a replacement??

Many thanx to anyone who can help 🙂

Cheers, Bri.

secondary windings are 28.7V AC (which gives 38.4V after the bridge)

It is a nice amp.
I had problems with the power switch it refused to stay in the on position so i fixed it the easy way, now it is always on 😀 .
Are you sure that the xformer is gone?

I have a PM66 KI which also occasionally cuts out. In my case it appears to be something to do with the "source direct" button. If I switch it on and off a couple of times the amp starts playing again and runs happily until the next time which can be a couple of days or weeks. At this point it is merely a minor irritation but I would like to nip it in the bud.

Anybody experienced this and any suggestions?

 

[anatech]

Clean the switch?

 

[Biggles]

This would seem like sound advice.

Is it just a switch a problem?

Although I appreciate the finer points of audio equipment, I fear my technological expertise is limited. However, if it is just a case of a quick blast with WD40 I think I am in with a shout. If it involves bypassing the tachyon drive and serial linking the ion plasma booster I am probably out of my depth.

 

[anatech]

Okay, WD-40 will work, but leaves a rather distinctive odour. You may want to rethink that one. Try De-Ox-Id or a like quality electronic contact cleaner. Not tuner cleaner!

Really, that's all your problem is. Make sure to get a *small* amount into the contacts.

Please mail me the Marantz Pm66 schematics . Hv anyone got the PM6010 schematic ? akisound@yahoo.com , thank !

 

[Biggles]

Chris

Thanks

I take the point regarding WD40 - it is not exactly "citrus fresh". I will speak to the IT dept at work - they have no end of sprays and ointments for electrical gadgets.

Cheers

May I have a copy of PM66SE schematic?

Pls mail to ayre_chan@yahoo.com.hk

 

[drax]

Hi to all, I have the same problem with PM-66SE like Brian_x, primary winding is dead, no resistance at all. I need the schematic too.
Please mail me jdrax@eunet.yu
Thanks,
