Rescuing an amp by plugging in a headphone socket
"Astley Le Jasper"
My long serving Marantz PM 6010 OSE is ill and before I dump it, I
wondered if it was worth salvaging.
A while ago, one of the channels stopped working. However, when I
plugged a headphone socket in and then out, everything would be fine
for a few months. However, that doesn't work anymore.
Does that give anyone an idea of what's wrong with it?
** Eeeeeeyeeep.....
It's hardly worth taking it to be checked out, because I'll have to
pay someone to look at it ... and might as well get a new amp. It
would be a shame though.
(I've checked it with different sources and also listening using
headphone, but that one channel has definitely gone.)
** Suggests you get a can of WD40 ( or similar) a squirt a jot or two down
the headphone socket hole.
Then insert and remove a plug a couple of times.
As Bill Maynard ( aka Greengrass would say -
" it's magic ! "
