    MC2105 Restore Kit

    Hey guys, I've been toying with the idea of selling my MC2105 and C29 and keeping my C30 and looking for a nice tube amp, maybe MC240 or MC230. Looking at the prices on those, I've given up. Now I'm on the mission of getting what I have tuned up nicely. I'm looking for a kit to do a restore on...

    What on earth is this? MC2105

    I acquired a 2105 a couple days ago and now going through it. It’s in very good condition having been to a number of MAC clinics along with obvious maintenance. It plays well and sounds great. However, looking at the driver boards the large ceramic resistors have an odd white conglomeration on...

    I’m 100% Green to Reel to Reel and really looking to get into it.

    I (like most on this forum) consider myself to be something of an audiophile and I’m looking to get into the tape side of things. I’ve been collecting vinyl for years and am currently managing a record store, so I’m no stranger to gear and how expensive this hobby will be. I’m looking to get a...

    SOLVED: MC2105 Mono Re-Wire; Also, Terminal Block Notes

    A previous owner (likely a recording studio) re-wired my MC2105's Input Coupling switch, I can't fathom why. Any ideas? The input blocking capacitors (C1, C2 0.22uF mylar) are removed. In "normal", the input signal passes directly to the input board (the wires from the input jacks are...

    McIntosh C28 VS Realistic STA-2300

    First Post...(in this forum) I recently acquired a couple of Vintage McIntosh units at a steal price (since the seller could not confirm functionality). I gambled and looks like it was a good call. I bought an MC2105 power amp and the matching C28 pre-amp. After some cleaning (20 years of dust...
