Thanks, Larry...

..but, actually, I didn't.

I had just replaced all of the electrolytic capacitors in the left side P700 board (no transistors, just the electrolytics), and added a 5 watt 47 ohm resistor in the power supply to replace the original 3 watt 47 ohm resistor that was running red hot.

Turned it on, tried it out, sounded fine.

I started unplugging everything, and accidentally turned off the power strip the Marantz was plugged into.

I turned the power strip back on and...

POW!!!

And the magic smoke came rolling out of the right side P700 board. Yes, the very same board that had given me so much trouble.

The receiver is now on the shelf collecting dust again, where it will stay for awhile. Maybe until next winter, or longer.
