Description

📝 Summary / Description This is a 3D printable repair piece for the tuning dial wire holder used in many vintage Marantz receivers. The small plastic retaining ears on the original part frequently break off, which prevents the dial cord wire from being properly supported. This model replaces the damaged portion while allowing you to reuse the original top piece. Installation is simple: • Cut the broken pigtail portion from the original holder • Install this printed repair piece • Reuse the original top section This restores proper wire positioning and allows the dial mechanism to operate correctly again. 🔧 Print Notes • Supports recommended • Successfully tested printing at 90° and 45° orientations • Angled printing improves layer strength on the retaining ears • PETG recommended for durability • PLA works but may be more brittle 🎛️ Why This Exists These small plastic holders are not available as replacement parts, yet they commonly fail during restoration. This repair piece was designed during a real Marantz receiver restoration to provide a practical solution that preserves the original hardware while replacing the broken structural portion. ⚠️ Disclaimer This is an aftermarket repair part and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Marantz.
