When it comes to vintage Mac tuners, the MR71 is on every collector's short list. This is such a nice example, with pristine glass, and beautiful chrome chassis without the hint of pitting. We've recapped it, aligned it, and upgraded the lamps to LED. What's not to love?

- Liner Notes
The Mclntosh MR 71 is a precision-engineered, highly sensitive FM Multiplex Tuner.The research staff of Mclntosh Laboratory has developed five new tuner circuit improvements for the MR 71.1. Automatic stereo-mono switching that is "clickless" and completely electronic.2. Multipath indicator to eliminate multi-path reception by showing when your antenna is rotated to the correct position for minimum multipath distortion.3. Double-tuned input circuits before the first R.F. amplifier to reduce spurious responses.4. New D'Arsonval movement meters of increased sensitivity which do not need zerosetting adjustments.5. A new computer designed filter to reduce noise from stations broadcasting sub-carrier auxiliary music services. No other tuner uses such a filter.
