Hi there, I am hoping someone can help me:
I recently had a local dealer replace my faceplate and a couple of blown bulbs on my MC2155 amp. Both the faceplate and bulbs were ordered from McIntosh.
When I picked up the unit, to my great surprise, the windows in front of the meters were clear, which made the meters appear totally white-colored when powered off. uke: To be fair, the meters did light up blue once turned on.
I am really disappointed with the white colored meters when powered off. I recall the replacement faceplate itself had clear meter windows, so I am guessing that a "film" or a blue-colored filter of some sort must be applied to make the clear appear blue. Not sure if its applied to the rear of the faceplate itself, or in front of the meter housing? Am I correct?
To make a long story short, I left my amp at the dealer, and they told me they will try to make the window blue. I have to admit, I am concerned as I am not sure what they're going to do. I have worries that they would return the unit back to me with a non-blue colored meter windows in the first place, and not think there was anything wrong.
I want to thank you in advance for taking your time to read this, and look forward to any insights....
Regards,
