Brand new to forum and would like to know best place to get these Mc pieces repaired and tested. The last of my parents just passed away and I had to ship these from NY.

My father was VP of Sales for a company called Elpa Marketing out of NYC. He was the head exporter of Mc's, Bozak speakers(Was friends w Rudy), and Thorens TT(125 MKII). When he left Elpa in late 70's, actually worked for Bozak as its VP of marketing(the the sons ran it into the ground by 1983).

Anyway, shipped back his Bozak "Baby Grands" via fed Ex freight(not a scratch!), but the Mc's via Fed ex ground(Ya, I know, big mistake). I have insurance, but cannot find prices for MR 77 and C28 from stores around here and don't trust eBay.

I also need to get a new cover for the Thorens 125 MkII.

I also need the most reasonable, but good Mc Repair expert in Colorado. I have already reached out to a guy in FoCo(havent heard back yet) and Aural in Denver(3-4 mos out)

Any help is appreciated Thanx!

Also, a few folks here have mentioned an ex Mc tech named Richard Seefried in Ft. Collins. He's a retired minister but evidently he has a shop in his garage. Somebody hopefully has some contact info.

Also you might want to have a moderator move this to the McIntosh sub forum where there a lot of good folks who can offer advice, etc.

That is the guy I contacted in FoCo(Fort Collins). I called and left a VM and emailed him. If the moderator can do that, I'd appreciate it. Thanx!

The Moderators can however they are a busy group and are not scouring the multitude of threads here looking for move requests.

Click on the "Report" link in lower left hand corner of either of your posts and send them a request which they'll eventually get to in a timely manner.

Fwiw

A good tech is more then likely going to be backed up weeks in some cases months and hard to get a hold of primarily due to the fact there is not too many competent ones around anymore so they're constantly busy.

So be patient for a response back.

My condolences on your loss. Add to that, the fact that your fathers beloved hi-fi was destroyed due to the negligence of Fed-Ex is beyond heartbreaking. It is due to this very level of service that I will never again ship any gear with them. The sad fact is this seems to be an acceptable level of service with no accountability. Hopefully you had enough insurance coverage to fully compensate you for all repairs. I’ll tell you from experience that the process is extremely daunting, as if designed to discourage claims. If this becomes an issue, you may consider stopping by your local Fed-Ex and deal directly with the store Mgr.
My last encounter of this nature resulted in my shipping charges both ways being comped by a sympathetic manager. Best of luck on your restoration.
BTW, another vote for Audio Classics taking care of this, with Fed-Ex picking up the entire tab.
