Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:616547 | Type: Integrated Amplifier |
| Brand: McIntosh |
*Please see the 40 high resolution photos below the description, too!*
For sale is a McIntosh MA 6100 integrated amplifier in excellent unrestored condition. This is the cleanest original McIntosh amp I've owned. Please look carefully at the additional photos below to see how gorgeous the chrome and silkscreening is on this unit. The chassis itself is in remarkable condition, with no noticeable paint loss, cage dents, or abuse. Original glass has light separation in a few... spots, but is still certainly in nice condition. Please notice the indoor and outdoor photos below, so you can see how incredible the chrome, silkscreen, and chassis are in a variety of light conditions.
I recently purchased from the 2nd owner and the unit has always been in a non-smoking environment. The 2nd owner purchased the unit in 1990 from the wife of the original owner who passed away. The AE serial number indicates it is from the first several years of production and the 8762 likely puts this unit's production date in mid 1975.
The unit powers up and works, but this integrated amp is all original and should be recapped and have the pots cleaned by a technician before being used daily. The left channel takes about a minute to operate properly, likely due to poor capacitors. The 2nd owner had no work done to the unit and the 1st owner's wife said the unit never left the cabinet after being purchased, so this amp is likely 100% untouched and original. I feel like everyone has "their guy" for this work, so I'd rather leave the amp as-is and let the new owner have their favorite technician do the work.
The unit will be shipped in a factory McIntosh box via FedEx. Demonstrations are available at my home in Cross Plains, WI and in-person pickup is available if you don't want it shipped. Because of the collectible nature of this amplifier, there are absolutely no returns. I recently celebrated my 21st anniversary on eBay with 100% positive feedback since day 1 in 1998. Please keep in touch with any questions.
