McIntosh C-22 PREAMPLIFIER (PRISTINE)

Here we have a mint condition, one owner, no pet Mcintosh C-22! The holy grail of preamps! We bought it from a long time customer of ours and were amazed with the condition, It is by far the cleanest one we have seen in 30 years! The owner gave us along with this gem, 7 OEM NOS Telefunken tubes which are now in the preamp. This beauty has been completely serviced and all factory recommended upgrades were installed. Included in the restoration are all new (higher quality) electrolytic capacitors throughout. Ultrafast soft recovery rectification. New 1% Mil-spec Dale metal film and Kiwame resistors in the power supply. The phono section's inferior sounding ceramic caps were upgraded with period correct polypropelene orange drop film caps and ultra quiet Holco metal film (non inductive) resistors. The mylar tube caps were upgraded to Teflon film caps ($$$$). All the switches and potentiometers were cleaned and lubricated. 2 Takman carbon film resistors and Orange drop caps. ( smoother) replaced slightly out of spec original units in the line stage! Lastly the owner had us replace the power cord and the front glass 3 years ago when it came in for a check up. There is a reason why these preamps are considered within the top 5 collectible audio components of all time, they sound great, they look great and when professionally serviced as this one is, will last another 50 years or more and continue to beat the stock market as an investment. If you have been waiting for one of these in fabulous shape both cosmetically and functionally, this is the one. Discounts for both Cash transactions and local pick-up. All of the original parts (all working) will come with the preamp if the buyer requests them. Add 4% for PayPal. Thank You
