This thing is a beauty, much nicer than the rust buckets on that auction site. It will complete the living room setup for a very good friend of mine. I facilitated the purchase and the price was well below auction site prices. In fact, I wanted to keep it for myself and give him one of my mc225s. It's 100% stock, and will be rebuilt with authenticaps and russian pios. My tech has a mod for the diode rectifier, which turns out is really a 1/2 wave rectifier. He adds 2 more diodes to make it a full wave rectifier which improves output power by about 15%. I'm really psyched for my friend. He recently bought my m series mx110 which was rebuilt by the same tech and after about 6000 hours the only tubes which needed replacement were 2 of the 6u8s. He's currently running it with my dynaco st70 but wanted a complete McIntosh set and is using klipsch klf-20 speakers, which are really excellent speakers.
