Both turn on! I had to use 2 tubes from the com...plete working one to test out the other (2 tubes will need to be replaced, see the last picture, those are the tubes that would not power) sound quality out of both is great!
The serial #’d one that ends in a 27 Powers in beautifully and has no issues, played clean and sounded great!
The serial #’d one that ends in a 28 (this is the one I had to substitute tubes into to power on) - I believe the one capacitor is leaking / will need to be replaced on this one as there was some brown gunk on the bottom of the inside of the bottom cover and there is an intermittent hum (that goes away and comes back every so often, but I had no issues while having an audio source plugged into the unit) so not sure if that hum is caused by the capacitor issue or not.
Both are in good condition cosmetically as well, they show some wear and some light pitting in areas on the chrome but overall fairly clean , some scuffs on the black bottom casing and some light scuffs elsewhere, these were pretty dusty but I tried to do a light cleaning to get some of it off, but will probably need a little more thorough run through. Please view pictures to get a better view of condition
These were purchased from the original owner, and I’m told these were not used often and haven’t been used in many years. They were stored high up in a wooden rack away from moisture These haven’t been serviced as far as I know , and it does appear these are mostly original parts if not all original. They both have the same McIntosh Clinic sticker that reads “DOB 7-12-67”
