I'm looking for a Mcintosh Stereo Tuner to go with my system. I'd prefer something that is of the same time line but performance and reliability take precedence. I'm running a MC-20 pre with HK Citation II and a MC 40 for center channel. Most of my system is late 50's early 60's.. I'd like to...

It is silkscreened with all of the Grason Stadler co. information as well as 162k.. plus the badge is missing.

This amp is a bit of a puzzle.. as far as gain goes I'm running an HK Citation II for left and right channel with Altec 604c's. Mc C20. The center channel is the MC 40 with an EV TRX15 and Royal Corner Cab. With the gain all the way up on the Mc it out powers the HK which is rated at 60 per...

http://www.indianaradios.com/Grason%20Stadler%20162K%20McIntosh%20MC40%20Amplifier.htm This link shows information about the Grason Stadler 162k. My amp has none of the external mods discussed here and even though mine is branded as a Grason Stadler 162k with all the companies information...

Maybe I don't fully grasp the rarity of the MC40. Tom has a nice emblem but he's asking $115 plus shipping.. I was kind of expecting $50 bucks or so but I have to admit that $115 has given me a bit of sticker shock. Am I off base and just being cheap, is this going rate for something like this...

This is branded Grason Stadler 162k BUT that looks like a stock Mc knob and I checked the circuit between input and first 12ax7. No mods apparent and no hookup for a VU meter. It is currently being used as a center channel amp with my MC 20. Using an EV 15TRX in an EV Royal corner cab and it...

Thanks, I sent a mail off to Tom to see if he has one. Just landed a super nice Grason Stadler (MC40) so it's missing the emblem. Odd thing is this was never modified to the GS circuitry, it's still 100% Mc

Looking for a Mcintosh badge for the MC 40.. any ideas where to find one? McIntosh40 the one on the side of the amp, mine is missing.. Thanks!

Pics of the C 20 with nice new Caps.. now on to the power supply when the parts arrive.

I now have about 15 hours on the recap. I have yet to rebuild the power supply, but couldn't wait to hear what it sounded like. Well first let me say that this preamp although not difficult was an exercise in patience and diligence. In the end it seems to have paid off in spades! All those...

There are a lot of products out there for cleaning the blueing from motorcycle pipes where they are nearest the head. One of these products should work fine for polishing out the darkening of the chrome caused by heat from the tube. One product called "Blue Job" is available for example...

I'm trying something different on this preamp recap. I was thinking to myself what a pain it is to get those old caps out and clean up the holes they pass through to allow the next cap lead. It's too tight on the post side to get a small pair of dykes in there to clip the lead (or at least it's...
