The black paint behind the glass of my older Mcintoshes have some cracks (just the paint) the glass is in a good shape. I wonder if anyone knows or have tried taking taking out the the glass touch it up with some black paint??? Thanks in advance.
It all depends on where the "cracks" or "bubbles" are located...I've had great success using paint sticks or the like...paint doesn't need to be glossy, as the glass will make it appear that way...you can't successfully touch up the paint where it comes into contact with any of the nomenclature/labeling or any gold lines, etc...the paint issue can't be too large either...just takes time and patience...good luck!
Isn't it a shame that gear as good as it gets in McIntosh is needing such a stupid "repair" at all????? I cross my fingers that my MC2000 will last - colorwise and all!
Try contacting McIntosh and see if they offer a touch up paint. it may even be free they are great people. I blew a fuse and they sent me a couple at no charge. Never asked for model, serial numbers just the fuse size and type. It was a special slow blow that I couldn't find even at RS
