Offered these gems, wish they were pairs

[RS Steve]

Marantz Audio Consolette and Mcintosh 60, considering throwing an offer but without stereo I wouldn't be using them. Wondering what their value would be knowing they need restoration.

 

[soundmotor]

Considering? You're freakin' half-way there! Nearly every mono pair set I have started as a single. Or, make a fair offer then sell one to fund getting the other.

Been doing it long enough to the point I have lost some motivation flipping items, but this just might give me motivation.

Thanks for the advice, they accepted my off and I will be picking them up in a few days,
I will post back with pictures after I get them here.

Here is what I was able to get, pretty cool 50's mono system for sure. All manuals were included also.

Very unique gear. Thanks for sharing your pictures/story.......and congrats.

That ESL 301 transformer alone is worth 2k. Maybe you can sell that to find the others.

Looks like it originally had a switch on it that was removed, probably to avoid someone messing with it a causing problems.

Yeah that would be a goner for that kind of stupid money. You could luck into a similar crusty mc60 for 1,000 or less and restore them and be under that 2,000 sale.

Too bad they are empty boxes.

 

[nolasally]

Thats just mean man!! Is that 6550 box empty too??

 

[RS Steve]

That box contained a gem!

 

[nolasally]

Well looking at that amp you’ll need another 6550.
