Product: Mcintosh MAC1900 Receiver
Included: (1) Copy of owner manual
Functional Notes:
All potentiometers and switches have been cleaned with Deoxit, and all inputs have been tested and are fully functional. The unit delivers that classic, powerful, and warm solid-state sound. Given the unit's age, the internal capacitors must stabilize (warm up) before use. We recommend delaying the activation of the speaker output by a few seconds after the power is turned on to prevent a transient startup noise caused by capacitor discharge. While it sounds without issues once warmed up, a recap may be optional in the future to maintain this standard.

Cosmetic Description:
The exterior presents very good condition with internal components that are clean and well-preserved. The right hand side of the front bezel frame is missing. As expected with vintage audio, there are minor cosmetic imperfections—light scuffs and small marks. Review all photos to assess its condition accurately.
The McIntosh MAC 1900 is often regarded as one of the first truly high-end stereo receivers, delivering a robust 55 watts per channel of clean power alongside McIntosh's legendary low-distortion performance. This all-solid-state vintage classic features the signature glass faceplate and blue illumination, combining exceptional AM/FM tuning capability with a direct-coupled power amplifier section, making it a foundational piece for any audiophile seeking 1970s sonic excellence.
