That sounds bad...how much smoke? If it's just a bit from dust, that might be ok, but they don't run hot so that would surprise me. Many Mac dealers employ techs for repairs, so call a dealer.
My MC 2205 Amplifier is smoking???
Hello Friends, I am new here because of an inheritance of a Vintage McIntosh System. I will not go to deep down that story again as I already introduced myself. The reason for this post is I received my RCA and Speaker wiring today and couldn't wait to give this baby a test drive to asses the needs.
After some tinkering I was able to get a station to come in clear and a decent volume to come out the speakers.
The good news is, the speakers are worth salvaging with maybe a rebuild and a clean up. THe bad news is the Amplifier is producing smoke. I removed from the Casing, and dusted a bit more, I am hoping it is just because it was sitting for 15+ years.
Any thoughts???
PS. I am in SO CAL if any one knows a good tech to take on some of this work.
