 McIntosh's MR78 is considered by many to be the best tuner ever made.  The MR 78’s distinction was a new intermediate frequency filter, the culmination of a design that one of McIntosh's engineers had worked on for a decade.  As a superheterodyne radio receiver,  the incoming signal is mixed with that of a local oscillator to produce an intermediate frequency (IF) that is lower than that of the carrier frequency of the received signal. There are several reasons for doing this. A really big one is that the lower value of this IF makes it easier to filter out nearby sources of interference. 

This piece just arrived and includes an original wooden case with locking bracket.

Its tested and working nicely.  Overall its clean and fully operational.  A nice collector piece.
