This is my Mc240 that was rebuilt by Mike Samra 2.5 years ago and I'm selling it because I bought Magnepan speakers that need a lot of power And Mike worked his magic on a Mc275 for me. The amp is in near mint condition with very good chrome,lettering and transformer paint. All the rebuilds Mike does can be reversed and put back to original style components with no damage because Mike doesn't drill holes or cut up the chassis to mount the new and far superior components used in the rebuild. I can tell you that this amp sounds very much like my Mc275 . It does power my inefficient Magnepan 1.7s,but it not a match made in heaven. The rebuild consists of a McShane level 2 power supply,along with four 35uf unilytic film cap bypasses. The amp also has Schotky diodes,rebuilt bias supply with film cap bypass,K40 paper in oil caps in the interim stages and output along with Panasonic film and foils and`and Rel multicaps in the input. There are many new matched,low tolerance carbon film resistors, and a nice buss bar ground that makes this amp dead quiet. This amp actually makes 52wpc with the Tungsol 6L6gs I'm including with the amp.along with Amperex,and RCA tubes with low hrs.as well as a quad of 6P3s'. The reason I love Mike's and McShane's rebuilds are because they don't change the signature Mcintosh sound,they simply enhance and purify what is already there. I'm asking what I feel is a fair price for the condition and build in this amp so if I sell it fine,if I don't no big deal.The rebuild alone was 1500.00. I have seen Mc240s in this condition sell in the neighborhood of 2800 to 3200 dollars and that is without this spectacular rebuild. It should be turn key,good to go for many years to come.
