Default Superscope R1240 part request

Hello all,

I've got a Superscope R1240 receiver here in which the black plastic
drum on the tuning capacitor has cracked and fallen apart. The customer
would like the unit fixed. Has anyone got a scrap unit in the basement
that they would be willing to sell a part off of?

This is a low power Japanese built receiver from around 1976, around
20-25 watts per channel.

Gentlemen, please check your junk piles!

Regards,
Tim Schwartz

I think they were made in Santa Clara, California, i.e. Silicon Valley.

Well,

Superscope (Chatsworth, CA) did own or import Marantz for a while, and
this unit claims to be "Designed by Marantz, Made in Taiwan". Lots of
2SA and 2SC series Asian transistors. In any event, I still need the
drum for the tuning cap, do you have one?

Regards,
Tim
