The MC240 – one of the most sought-after tube amps, hands down. This example is in excellent condition, with largely intact lettering, and only the slightest hint of pitting in a couple of spots. This piece has been fully recapped and completely restored, and is actually putting out more than 50 Watts per channel. According to our tech, who worked on McIntosh for over 45 years, it's one of the nicest 240's he's laid hands on. It can be yours.
