East Coast Service center referral needed for an ARC D-300.2 amp

@oddiofyl

seriously now, ’not to bash’, or specifically to bash?  that is whole purpose you posting on this thread right?

how nice of you to drop by to chime in... twice 👍

On Monday i will give a call to the good but imperfect folks in Binghampton and ask a few questions: Do you have the following NOS parts in stock for my MC240 ? M-207A power transformer, M-210B output transformer, and more importantly a laser and servo for my MCD205 ? i want to thank you for the now decades old response to a request for a MX-110 selector switch…. The answer i got looks a whole lot like the ARC email, except it was…typed…on a…typewriter…

This is why i warn people to pick your audiogon expert w care…. some of us have been around the block…a few times….

but…..for work that the MC factory might not want to do and good techs on the E Coast, there is always Audio Classics in Vestal, NY. They have the skill to go thru the ARC amp and get it in tippy top shape. For a W Coast based Mac expert I strongly suggest Randy Vikan, he fixes factory defects in MC gear, will he did on my MR-85…. like i said, like all of us…good but imperfect..

Carry on

Jim

I recently had a power amp fuse holder assembly ( part of a circuit board, which I do not do any longer ), repaired and rebuilt by Kris Rhoades, proprietor of " Fine Tuned Audio ", located in Central Florida. He is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and so into tubes. He builds tube amps and preamps shown on his website, and are very reasonably priced. 

Listen they are great sounding amps , but they don’t do what other companies do for their legacy products. That is a fact. I’m not a McIntosh fanboy by any measure. I had some of their products from the “Clarion” days.... probably the darkest days ever for them . They weren’t bad, the entry level was better than most brands top efforts at the time and that still holds true today .
