I use a Marantz 2245 to show you how to troubleshoot vintage stereo equipment including receivers and amplifiers when you have no audio output and the speaker relay will not engage. This video can be used with other models of vintage Marantz, Pioneer, Sansui and others to help trace down similar failures. Fewer and fewer technicians are remaining that can service vintage audio equipment. With some knowledge vintage stereo problems can be simplified.
