The McIntosh MR77 stands as a legendary icon from the golden age of solid-state FM reception, offering a blend of exceptional performance and McIntosh's signature aesthetic. Featuring a highly sensitive, rugged RF front-end with a six-gang tuning capacitor and a high-performance linear phase bridge discriminator, the MR77 delivers remarkably low distortion and superb fidelity for an analog tuner. Its iconic glass faceplate, illuminated in a classic teal and gold glow, is complemented by the unique, tube-driven Multipath Indicator 'Magic Eye', a feature not found on its sibling, the MR78. For the discerning audiophile and collector, the MR77 is a timeless piece of engineering that brings pure, unadulterated FM sound into the modern age.

The original glass faceplate features three characteristic age-related bubbles. Importantly, the wood cabinet has been structurally restored, with the rear panel's cracks having been repaired and reinforced with wood glue. The exterior surface of the cabinet is well preserved. All photos should be thoroughly examined for complete cosmetic detail.
