Mcintosh Kit

I built a Hafler preamp, the successor to the Dynaco line.
Easy build, and a real sense of accomplishment.
When it was stolen, it hurt more than the Carver 400 they also took.
But I don't think we'll see them again from mainline manufacturers.
Just pop open a new McIntosh case and you'll see that modern manufacturing techniques have sped past the DIY category.
The only thing left for us to do would be screwinc in the PC boards and snapping in a few connecting cables.

Back in the day, most FM tuner kits came with pre-aligned boards. The main assembly was of chassis parts and the audio boards. Most AM and AM/SW kits were such that the alignment was left to the builder, with guideance supplied by the kit supplier.
 
Hi,

McIntosh offered a kit amplifier in 1961, the MK 30 (kit version of the MC 30). Discontinued due to high price compared with assembled version and McIntosh inundated with kit builder questions. Very rare bird. One year only model. Apparently made to help clear out MC 30 parts inventory as they were closing out the model in 1961. Also, McCurdy Radio Industries assembled MC 30 amplifiers and sold McIntosh equipment in Canada. From Binghamton made parts.
