McIntosh 240 chassis replacement
fxbill replied to Nahash5150's topic in Nelion Audio's Vintage Audio Repair and Restore
Fantastic work Greg... I just received the amp back today and am truly impressed. You had a chance to use "fake" rivets with no heads, but nuts to hold them and yet you choose to use the real rivets and buck them yourself. Bravo! A little history of this amp for those of you reading this for the first time. I purchased this from the estate of a Mac collector. It was one that nobody else seemed interested in and yet, despite it's looks it was one of Mac's best amps made and this one had all original Telefunken small tubes with the exception of one of the small tubes and the 6L6's which I sourced from an eBay seller who had original Mac tubes for sale. I actually use KT66's in it although I sent it to Greg with the 6L6's since that's what the original used. The power supply was rebuilt with Authenticaps and a couple of NOS Mallories that I had laying around. The unit always sounded great after the PS refurb and I paid $1000 for the unit and about $350 for the chassis and hardware. Combined with Greg's more than generous labor cost...Thank you again Greg... I am into this unit for far less than one not even close to matching the looks of this one. I was shocked at the specs that Greg got out of the unit. Now it looks as good as it sounds! Thank you again for such detail and quality that only you can provide Greg!! Kind Regards, Fxbill - Yesterday

@Pete C Welcome to the Carver site!! A very nice grouping of equipment that you have. I started my equipment journey with a variety of dynaco equipment. This is a representation of two of the units I had, Pat5 and a Stereo 400 with meters. @Sk1Bum From this, my journey was along the TFM series of amps, Sunfire and Phase Linear units. Enjoy!!
