Mcintosh C29 preamp value

[shacky]

What's a good Mcintosh C29 preamp worth? Always wanted a nice Mac preamp and have a line on one. $300 - $400 asking price.

I am by no means an expert. But, I usually see them around $500+...

That's kinda what I thought. I'm wondering if it's a widow selling her beloved's pride and joy. If so I will take very good care of it. :yes:

And if she's a hot GILF I'll invite her over to listen

I've seen those house plants in your pics. No way you're single...

She's never heard it like she'd hear it with the Shack!

It's the original owners daughter so this could be very exciting. And she woks at a Children's School. Not that I have hope she's into 52 year old fat, bald guys that are vintage audio geeks But I can dream :yes:

Bless he heart we've been married 33 years. And high school sweethearts before that. She is a very, very patient woman

The big plant is fake though :yes:

 

[shacky]

Oh well that fantasy just burst wide open. I called to leave a message at her work number - remember I said she is teacher at childrens school?

Turns out she's a girls gym teacher

:dammit::withstpd:

Remember the movie "Porky's"? Kim Catrell was a PE teacher.

BTW, I paid more than $500 for mine. Mine came with the wood cabinet and original shipping crates for both the preamp and the cabinet.

You don't remember "Lassie"?!?!?!?

Actually, I dated a PE teacher after I got out of the Army. Trust me, don't believe the stereotype!

 

[shacky]

Well this was the stereotype - no doubt about it. But the C29 is in great cosmetic shape. Haven't tested it yet. She threw in Tandberg 310 cassette I was interested in.

 

[12ax7]

Very very nice! It's good that her dad was the stereo type too.

Wow -- looks sweet. :thmbsp: Looks like you got a good deal on a pretty nice one -- hope you enjoy it.
