Faulty Power Switch on Marantz 2216 Vintage Receiver 

Thanks for reminding me, I did forget to mention that the switch is pretty much a sealed unit, though I did give it a good go with contact cleaner, but to no avail.

Hi, a 4 pin switch is no good , you need one like shown in video for this Receiver, eBay do have them but these are not cheap at £20 plus postage, link here or look for simular www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265383926275?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110013%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIMRXI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D250943%26meid%3D5e56a7e32e384f5eb63f10f2ac64d2d3%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D403266090402%26itm%3D265383926275%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DPromotedRVI%26brand%3DITT&_trksid=p2047675.c101196.m2219&amdata=cksum%3A2653839262755e56a7e32e384f5eb63f10f2ac64d2d3%7Cenc%3AAQAIAAAA4BFMeJ9vNoeV5R6diewUBS22B53h8Rise7Ex9bak3TZs6o%252B0Z%252F4yA%252BLe7DRHMYOHUD6CHEHZDoH4toT5RVJ4IU2XvHco4XunDYRWrI3Q93ypo6j2kzaaQPhaF64iomgZEANOa9duHupJtzbdh36AvRi5ufkdgyxRdbb6tLncNL2C5wvIu18F1fwYfMsJdAcU6JjNMXMv5ptYDyYCWwa%252F2zy%252FLVAqIS6CoscIjkX%252Fafa5XgkQggCSz9hfNM9EfoYg%252Br4roFYTCa1y1lyuPY4zKEzCmL1fV9qDPmOec%252Blw3k%252Fu%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2047675

Thank you sir.

Could well be a slight difference in the wiring between the US and Europe models on the power switch for some reason or an earlier and later revision of the model maybe

I did get mine from a seller on eBay from Germany but I can not see any for sale on there now apart from sellers in the USA and you would need to take the silver mounting bracket off your old one and put it on the new one. They are not cheap here is a link to one for sale www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116042705476?chn=ps&_ul=GB&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=116042705476&targetid=2270718620845&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9045016&poi=&campaignid=20938568783&mkgroupid=160131055320&rlsatarget=pla-2270718620845&abcId=9367980&merchantid=110360246&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjww_iwBhApEiwAuG6ccMbGAFmLehkRM1dREkRsqUAzRmT5s8XiGC4050g4zUnQDeIb4HTnghoCt-QQAvD_BwE

@@MichaelYates Thanks. I think I've managed to solve this by gluing in the pins with hot glue in the position where the problem doesn't show up. I hope it holds up.

That is good hope it does the trick, but if it does not then investing in a new switch will save spikes in mains voltage and damage to the unit in the long run.

Hi, I am from Essex, but I am sorry I do not do any private repairs, as I still work and not a lot of time and room If the switch in the 2238bl is the same as this, which I think it is, I got mine from eBay, link here www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262844871162?hash=item3d32c671fa:g:vf0AAOSwWTRWzISM

@@MichaelYates thank you Michael..im only over the river in Gravesend !! my 2238 is also giving static through both channels after 20 mins or so when warmed up..!! will this be a power switch problem also or is it something different ? am looking for someone local to look at it for me really !!

@@jo15518 I would have thought if it was the switch, that it could happen anytime, from turning on till a few hours, if it is after 20 mins or so and its warming up so to speak, it could well be a noisy component, transistor maybe, might be worth given "AH-Fix-It" a shout on RU-vid, he seems to do a lot of work on Marantz receivers and might know your receiver better.
