whitvt Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 (edited) OK. I must have a bonehead gene. Now, I own a dead Marantz PM650 from eBay that's missing a PC board inside. Otherwise this seems like an unused unit. Waiting for service manual so I can get smarter. Looks like I need to buy another PMD650 to get this card unless I can find one in some parts place somewhere ... no luck yet ... (The card is piggybacked onto the Sony drive mechanism). I will say this beast is put to gether real nicely and it's a breeze to get inside.Unless someone wants to buy this project off me !!Please PM or reply to whitvt@gmavt.netThanks.Tom Edited March 16, 2005 by whitvt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitvt Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Update: I got the service manual for this and learned quite a bit about the marantz.I am missing the microprocessor board (PQ01 ) from the unit. Interestingly, there were apparently several versions of the board which accomplished a few upgrades: allow 80 minute discs and some REC date/time compatibilty to other machines. I imagine now that the previous owner of this rig might have cannabalized the board for an upgrade ?I'm not sure I can just install another board without some setup for which I am not equipped. Might have to pay for someone who owns certain instruments.OK so that was fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
