Because I had the great pleasure to met Gordon GOW , Sidney CORDERMAN , discuss with them and learn a lot of thing . At this time I was taking care about MCINTOSH products for the French market
I had heard stories that a few people knows at the factory . Today many are retire or gone .
How do you know they didn’t just source filter sheets from a stage lighting manufacturer like Lee or Rosco ?
Because Mr Frank McINTOSH don't want to see his color on any other unit . Can you imagine that you can buy the same film and use it in your MARANTZ or any other brand ?
From where is coming this color ?
During the world war II , he was pilot and like his artificial horizon in his plane , and that's why he choose this "blue color" for the MCINTOSH meters . Color closer as possible to his indicator and patented after .
