When we received this beauty recently, we were informed by its last owner that it was in good working order and that the tubes were good and matched.

To the best of our knowledge, there is only small cosmetic issues: missing metallic face plates from the preamp knobs and fraying of the cloth at the base of the power cord. Includes original manual (with schematic), warranty, and several sheets of McIntosh brand stickers to put on your LPs to mark their equalization curves.
