This McIntosh tuner is in amazing cosmetic condition. While the chassis is a little dusty, there is absolutely no pitting, corrosion, rust, or any other sort of blemish. With some dusting, it will look as good as you'll find! The cabinet looks great with very little wear.
The tuner comes from a German audiophile who is downsizing his massive collection. This particular piece hasn't been used in over ten years. We powered it on with a Variac and other than the controls being a li...ttle scratchy (can be fixed with electrical contact cleaner), but we did notice that the tuner's volume knob didn't do anything. We had to use the volume knob on our preamplifier to adjust the volume. Regardless, the sound was clean and consistant on both channels, and all lamps are bright. However, as we believe all capacitors to be original, please note that it would be very wise to have the amp professionally serviced by McIntosh or another qualified service provider to ensure safe and optimal performance.
This item will be packaged using our InstaPak foam-in-bag system, ensuring the utmost protection! Bags filled with a chemical mixture expand around your item and harden to form a protective, yet forgiving, foam barrier. We've been using this system for over two years to ship some the heaviest and most delicate equipment you can imagine, and have yet to had an item damaged!
