McIntosh Repair
« on: December 18, 2007, 10:11:12 PM »
Crackling and cut out on one channel, believe it is output related. Shuts down during play. Anyone know where to send or have any ideas?

Trey this is the amp I sold you? I am really sorry if it is, get in touch with me if there is anything I can do to help. Did you try swapping speakers & cables on that channel of it is only one side? 
I know you like, tape for people's approval and stuff, and wave your tapes around like they're your dick...  but even you can't actually think section tapes from philips sound good.

yes that's the one carl. I am sending it off for repair and tune-up, just have to figure out how to get it out of the wooden box, take the glass out and put the box back on

There is a release button on each side of the chassis & it will slide right out of the wooden case. I am not sure how to remove the glass but I think it is fairly simple since it is replaced often?

worthy of the effort, whatever it may be.
the sound of that amp still resonates in my brain.
