This item works beautifully! I am selling for parts as it is very old and I do not know enough of the history to promise you the moon. I am selling for a friend who just bought it from his friend whose dad passed away. Confused? Me too. He asked me to list this since I have plenty of McIntosh units myself.

This is a true garage/barn find…of sorts. It appears that this unit was partially recapped (excluding the power caps), as there seem to be new capacitors on the drivers. I tried to take pics of these through the bottom cover. I am absolutely not sure if two were replaced or two hundred (probably closer to the first estimate). The indicator lights need replacing. Usually when techs get these in, the owner only wants to replace the ones that are dead, or wants them all removed and replaced. Take that for what it’s worth. From what I can see, something has spilled onto the unit and caused the corrosion. It’s weird, as only one screw on the bottom appears corroded. The rest of the bottom chassis looks pretty good. There is one screw missing on the bottom, so obviously there has been activity! There are no bottom feet, just the little plastic “rack” feet or “wood case” feet if you will. I can see where some plastic feet used to be. A few of the speaker terminal dividers are broken off, but that isn’t uncommon for these, as it weighs in at 85 pounds. There are also a few scratches here, there, and everywhere.

On the bright side…this thing sounds awesome. I hooked up my Apple Music directly to the inputs and it cranked up! I also ran a C24 (a proper vintage preamp) through with even more amazing sound. Personally, I would hook it up, plug it in…and go. It’s 200W of awesomeness. It ran cool on both channels, and I don’t have any reason to believe it will not for some time to come. It might be prudent to replace the power caps, but otherwise play it loud daily!

This unit is the 347th ever produced out of 3599 made.
