McIntosh MC275 amp on "How It's Made"

[Audioraven]

Season 23 Episode 9 of the Science show "How It's Made" features a segment on the manufacture of tube power amplifiers. They show a McIntosh MC275 being assembled at the MAC factory. I saw it on TV this weekend and it was pretty cool! You can check it out online here: http://blog.thetubestore.com/how-its-made-mcintosh-mc275-tube-amp-production/

OP:

Thanks for the post. Awesome. I watch "How It's Made" from time to time but definitely missed this one.

I really dug the portion showing the laminated transformers being assembled. Glad people are enjoying this!

Wow I had no idea they used hot tar. Amazing.

By the looks of damacman's avatar, he may make a little "hot tar" himself!
