Up for sale here is this complete rebuild kit for the Marantz 2325. This includes all the parts you need to rebuild a Marantz 2325, and includes the correct size replacement main filter capacitors. This does not include new lights or fuses. This also does not include the driver or output transistors. I also have new OnSemi MJ21195G/MJ21196G output transistors here if you need them, though if your receiver is working you don't need to replace the outputs. Each channel uses 4 outputs (2 pairs), and you should replace all 4 on the channel if you are replacing any. Please don't buy any of the Chinese output transistors on eBay--those are counterfeit and may blow up. I also have a complete light kit available here.

This kit includes replacements for all the electrolytic and tantalum capacitors in the receiver, including the two main filter capacitors, which are replaced with new 22000 uf 80v Chemi-Con caps. The new caps are the same diameter as the old ones so they will fit the old clamps perfectly. They go up a bit in capacitance and voltage, which is fine, and will improve the sound. If you would like black-and-gold Supertech 22000 uf 100v screw-terminal caps instead (same size), just let me know and I can swap them in for no additional charge.

The kit also includes replacements for almost all the transistors on all the boards. The kit for the power supply includes replacement diodes and dual diodes, and there are 1N4148s included to replace the VD1212 glass bead varistors on the boards. There is also a new relay for the power supply board. Marantz used two different relays on the 2325--sometimes they used a MY2-02-DC24 relay (marked MSJ2), and sometimes a LY2-0-DC24 relay (marked Type LY2). The kit comes standard with the LY2-0-DC24 relay, but please take a look at your relay and let me know if you need me to substitute the MY2 relay.

These are all high-quality brand new genuine parts, the same parts I use when I rebuild Marantz equipment. The 2325 was one of the best Marantz receivers, and it deserves a high-quality rebuild. Capacitors are Nichicon PW, Nichicon KL, Panasonic FC, Wima film, Panasonic film, and Chemi-Con for the main filters. Transistors are Fairchild/Onsemi.

Why buy this kit over the others on eBay?

  • Brand new, correct size screw-terminal main filter capacitors.
  • 2.2 uf 250v Panasonic film bypass caps for the main filter caps.
  • A full recap kit for the tuner boards--no skipping those!
  • The proper relay included. Otherwise, eventually the original relay will wear out.
  • Replacements for almost all the small transistors. There are a lot of bad transistors on the 2325, and they do need replacing. No one else is as obsessed with replacing transistors as I am, and no one else includes replacements for as many transistors. Your receiver will sound so much better with those ancient 2SC1345s gone.
  • The proper KSC1815 transistors for the phono board--the KSC1845s will not always work properly here!
  • Replacements for the glass bead varistors, which need to be replaced.
  • 8 new TO-3 mica insulators are included for the output transistors.
  • Surprisingly detailed and well-written instructions, plus a link to download a free service manual.

The Marantz 2325 has a LOT of parts in it. This kit includes a total of 168 parts, so this will take a fair amount of time. The parts for each board are individually bagged for ease of installation, and the instructions will tell you how the transistors and diodes go in, but there are a LOT of parts to replace here, so if you do not have a lot of experience with vintage gear I would not recommend starting with this one. You should know what you're doing and have a good soldering iron, a desoldering gun such as a Hakko FR-301, heat-sink compound, and a dim-bulb tester with 100W or 150W incandescent bulb.

Please see my pictures for details. No generic pictures here--I have clear pictures of the actual parts you will receive.

US shipping and handling is $12, and international is $36. If you have any questions, please ask.
