We have for sale a paper original factory service manual for a Marantz 1530, MR230, MR235. Generally clean unless noted otherwise. Please read below for details: We are selling off service manuals from our old shop and that of another friendly competitor from the area. These were both very active repair shops in their day and the manuals got used! We will try to point out any flaws we spot other than ones visible in the pictures. There is often writing in the manuals but generally it is helpful service information to help fix a quirky problem a technician encountered while working on the unit. When it says service notes on back page or see bulletins on the front cover it doesnt necessarily mean they are in this manual! Often the bulletins were kept elsewhere in the shop. PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS MANUAL IS AN EXACT MATCH TO THE COMPONENT YOU HAVE! Sometimes manufacturers will have more than one product out with similar but not identical circuitry, If youre unsure please ask questions first. We are unable to respond to requests for specific manuals. I will list more as I have time but Im still actively busy with other parts of what is now a one man operation.
