No sound output from MC240

It looks like a very nice amp with it's skirt pulled up. Is it as nice when you flip it over. I am betting it is. Anything in that amp can be repaired/replaced except, God Forbid, If something happened to the power or OP transformers during shipping.

The sellers response was rather immature. I would be very unhappy too, if a very expensive amp showed up on my doorstep DOA. They should have not inflamed the situation by insisting you return the amp for a refund. They even offered to pick it up personally. That is odd don't you think.

Here is my conspiracy theory. They sold the amp to you and then got a much better offer, maybe from an Asian buyer. So, they shipped it DOA waiting for your email complaining that it was DOA. Then they responded by offering you a refund and, as I mentioned before, to personally pick the amp up. Then they stated they wanted to terminate any future business dealings with you. Why? So you would not find out what they did?

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

It is just a thought.

Send it to Terry and let him do a full monty recap/repair on it and enjoy your great amp. I can guarantee it will not come back with cardboard around the the can com pos cap. I have pictures if you want to see them.

That's a pretty wild story. I had contacted the same seller about another MC240 they had actually listed on their web site and have gone through, placed the amp on my shopping cart and completed the checkout process. Thier process is they will call you and take your payment and shipping information via phone. I had done all this between 5:30-6:00am and by 2:30pm or so had not been contacted by themm so I called. I was told that the unit had been taken home by a local customer and he had decided to purchase it. I was also told that they had another really nice MC240 coming in the following month and they would contact me when it arrived. Well some time passed and I didn't hear from them so I called them. And as luck would have it it had just came in. I asked for some pictures, which I posted here in another thread and paid them their asking price without any hessitation. Could I have found a better deal? Sure but the unit is in great cosmetic condition and I was told of it's repair history including Mr. DeWick so I was pretty satisfied all would be good. So this brings us to where we are today.
OK, I'm off to install that fuse, stay tunned :scratch2::smoke::sigh:

Don, glad to read that apparently all is well (maybe the last tech to check it out removed the fuse for some reason and forgot to put it back in before buttoning the unit up). I hope it continues to work and provide great sound for many years.

I also agree with the others who said you did nothing wrong and the seller is a jerk. Well that's what I'm saying (even if they didn't) ... what a jerk. I wouldn't do business with him again, that's for sure.

I tend to get that way after a few drinks. Glad to hear it all worked out. It still seems a bit odd that the seller was so taken aback by your email. You need to send one more email assuring them the unit is fine and you will be sending them a bill to repair it.:smoke:
 
It had to be a fuse... Mc gear don't break.

If you had a phone # for the guy you bought from I'd maybe just call and avoid the e-mail.. e-mail is trouble for situations like this.

The seller maybe should have just tried playing some music as a last test before sending... dun know. Your e-mail didn't seem bad... But sellers/venders have a lot of pride as well.
 
Glad it was resolved and you're up and running.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate" (Cool Hand Luke).

What you implied and the seller inferred were miles apart. Maybe if you had said "disappointed" instead of "unhappy", the seller might have taken it better but his skin is not a thick as some and off you go. Who knows? If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a nice Xmas.

" what a jerk. I wouldn't do business with him again, that's for sure". They probably won't do business again, the seller already took care of that possibility. I would though. The seller might have thin skin but he obviously cares about his rep and has a lot of integrity, something I find getting rarer these days. It's too bad everyone is not perfect. :D

I don't think it's showing integrity to respond the way this seller did. Reread his reply to Don's very mild and to me, fully justified complaint. He showed no concern for the customer, just wanted to blow him off and wash his hands of the situation.

Reading this, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a "setup" in mind as was suggested ...
