Service manual modern Marantz

[Stuey]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a service manual for a Marantz SR-50 I'm repairing for a friend, as I need to replace the power transistors and assume that the bias will need to be reset.

(I'd like the schematic too, because if the repairs don't work I might install some gainclone boards I have in place of the amplifier section, and I need to see how to integrate the amp with the source selector and tuner sections...)

I seem to remember a thread warning people off one of the service manual download sites.

Can anyome recommend a good supplier?

Cheers

Stuey

I bought several from them:

... but it helps if you can read German..

No, I can't read German. Thanks anyway...

I checked. I guess the last one listed is what you need?

MARAN SERVICE MANUAL SR5000/N1B/K1B/G/U1B/G GB 1425307 312078522170 D

MARAN BEDIENUNGSANLEITUNG SR50L 1073120

MARAN SERVICE MANUAL SR50L/60B/65B GB 1073119 482272550917 C

Thanks Jan. I think that's the one, but I'm not sure if there's a difference between the SR50 and SR50L. They look the same cosmetically.

Are the manuals only in German as well?

Regards

Stu

Jan, I've had a look in the site; I guess the one marked 'GB' is in English. Unfortunately, when i went to the purchase page, the page doesn't display in English (despite the site having the English flag button option, which isn't working).

I have another source, but if I have to I'll translate the checkout page to make sure the details I'm giving are correct!

Cheers

Stuey,

The GB means that the manual is in English. I bought several from them and they were all in excellent quality. If you get stuck, sent me a private mail and I can probably order it for you.

Thanks Jan; I appreciate the offer.

I'll see how I go!

Hi Jan, have you any EC-design service manuals apart from Cordell/Hawksford?

 

[jan.didden]

Mike,

No, I really don't have many manuals, only for some of the equipment I own. But the ref I gave has almost all of them for reasonable prices. They are copies, but color and A3 format preserved where necessay. If you know the type I can check.

Hi Jan,

An update; I got a PDF version from Servicemanuals.co.uk.

For anyone's future reference, Maurice Small (proprietor) is easy to deal with and I received the email to enable a download from his site within 5 hours. Cost, GBP 6.

It is merely a scanned copy (obviously!) and not as good as the colour versions like those from Vintagemanuals, but it'll do the job.

Thanks again Jan.
