This is a nice amplifier. It has some scratches on the cabinet but looks good overall, particularly the faceplate with really looks great. Also included in the sale is a reproduction of the manual. With a line voltage of 230VAC, the plate voltage sat at 1850VDC in CW position. With 45 watts keyed-down on 40 meters we measured 500 watts out, which is about right as the manual calls for 1000W PEP and we can assume 50-60% efficiency. The tubes are getting extremely hot (orange in color) when we put the amp into high-voltage position. The L-4B was originally designed to only work with Drake equipment. This one has since been modified to work with other transceivers, and we used an IC-706MKIIG when testing rather than Drake equipment. Perhaps this won’t happen when using Drake gear? Bias current may need to be adjusted. There may be something else going on that we aren’t aware of. This item will be packaged using our InstaPak foam-in-bag system, ensuring the utmost protection! Bags filled with a chemical mixture expand around your item and harden to form a protective, yet forgiving, foam barrier. IMPORTANT: You will only receive what is photographed.

Vintage McIntosh Mc240 Stereo Amplifier. This 240 Amp is recently restored by professional including a full set of old stock US made tubes. All capacitors have been replaced with those of equal or higher specifications. Electrolytics are Panasonic brand caps. RCA jacks were replaced with gold plated teflon units. There is a known issue with this AMP : one channel seems to be louder than another. I think it may need to further tested and fixed. Other than that, this AMP is in working condition. My price is reflecting this issue. A good bit of “patina” and signs of age as shown in the pictures. The MC-240 has a unique design that makes it much easier to live with than many other tube amps, old and new. Due to a special transformer design, no bias setting is necessary. It is also not a requirement to used matched pairs or quads. A perfect choice for someone new to tube amps, or a veteran that is sick of tweaky unreliable tube power. However, please know that this is a vintage item. It is not a brand new machine. All sales are final.

This item is in the category “Consumer Electronics\Vintage Electronics\Vintage Audio & Video\Vintage Amplifiers & Tube Amps”. The seller is “kaoticfury1998″ and is located in Woodinville, Washington.
