    Was going through some old files, Mcintosh Pocket Sales Guide...

    Looking for my bench writeups for my 2600's, and having no luck. Found my C-29 sheet, C-20 sheet and a few others, but knowing how some of you like specifications and documents... Only 10 per thread, there are 5 more pages left, missing Receivers, Remote control system, and Loudspeakers. I'll...

    Mcintosh MC-250 Humming power transformer, am going to recap; your thoughts?

    Hi folks, I'm not a component level guy yet, but I've been inside these things many times. I've also been in television engineering for some time, so it's unlikely I'll defibrillate myself by accident. I've got an MC-250 I've had since the late 90's that's recently developed an intermittent...

    Found a pair of MC-1201's in a pawnshop...

    Was waiting on some Pho take-out that I ordered, went into a pawnshop next to the place. Expecting the usual litany of often stolen low grade audio (it was there) but to find near the back- a pair of MC-1201's in really good shape. Not all that interested in them, as I've got a marriage I'm...

    Speaker building question 5 cu ft available

    Hi folks, after some construction, the builder left 2 hollow columns in what is now my shop area. The columns are square, about 18 inches at the base, 8 inches at the top, and are 6 feet tall. (Inside measurements) So I'm estimating the total interior volume at 6 cu ft. The column is a...

    Precision 10-12 tube tester opinions

    Hi folks, I've had this tester forever, and it continues to function well. I'm interested in knowing where it fits in the pantheon of tube testers; some of you own several. Yes. I've Googled, it looks like a standard emission tester, but is that all? What's "Electronamic" mean? Marketing...

    FIOS Remote codes fro a Pioneer bdp-23fd

    Hi folks, I did a search but found nothing, are there dvd codes available that allow your FIOS remote to control the above Pioneer player? I'm guessing no as all the DVD codes have to be preprogrammed into the remote. Yes, I could use the Pioneer's remote, and program the FIOS box into...

    Mcintosh cabinet external dimensions

    Hi folks, I'm in the market for a rack, Billy Bags stuff looks like it's going to get the call, but before I select a rack, or go to the extra expense of having one made, I'm looking for cabinet outer dimensions. The sticky (and all the other information I've found) has internal dim's, not...

    Best AM tuner around, new or used

    Hi guys, I've got several Mcintosh tuners, all FM only, but now I've got to start thinking AM. I'm looking for an AM tuner that's easy to use/tune, and is good about pulling in stations. I've got an older Mcintosh system that's been relegated to a remote room, but with a good tuner I can move...

    Jumping ship

    Hi everyone, I've decided to go with Bryston amplifiers and a Meridian processor for my new house. I had also planned for a pair of XRT-28's running the fronts, but the threads saying that you had to tilt the speakers to get a center image in a sitting position has spooked me. I'm...

    Conditioning capacitors in old gear

    Hi folks, what's the deal on the variac restarting of long unused gear? Yes, I've done it; some of you know my background. Does it somehow rebuild the oxide layer on the capacitors themselves? Reason being that I've just gotten a mate to the MC-60 I've had for years, along with a (semi) mate...

    Anyone got any thought on the Thorens TD-521?

    I've got one that's NIB, and I've never set one up. I worked for a high end dealer and bought it from their stock when they went out of business in the early 90's. Along with the table, I bought a Premier FT-4 tonearm that's also NIB. I understand the tonearm very well, and know the 521 to be...

    Used/new gear prices

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a location that'd have original retail prices for gear that's about 10 years old. The company I work for has some old gear that it needs insurance information on. Current valuation would be nice, but not really needed. Thanks! Mike

    General electronic cleaning query

    Hi folks, a number of years ago I was a technician at a local Mcintosh dealer doing partly sales and partly electronic tune-ups. What I was trained to use was the Cramolin 3 part cleaning system; Cramolin red, Caeon tuner cleaner to remove the dirt (and the red) and a follow up with Cramolin...

    Faroudja VP400a opportunity

    Hi folks, I've got an opportunity to purchase the line quadrupler above and I was wondering if it was a good idea. My video system's centered around a Meridian G-68 processor and probably a Piioneer Elite plasma or a Sony Ruby. I've seen an NTSC signal to a Barco 808 with and without this...
