Where's D'Artagnan?

60’s McIntosh 225 tube amp

21K for this set 7 weeks ago. MX110z, MC225, MC240, MC275. This is the the picture I used. He is in Mexico City, BIG Mac guy. 

They ALL are untouched. One set of power valves and 2 12AX7s Telefunken were replaced. He knew NOT to replace the caps in the 225 and replace ALL the caps in the 240. 275 there are a few bumblebees. He'll spend another 5K to do it correctly.

That MC225 is almost perfect. I have another one the power cord end was cut off in 1970 and placed in a box. The guy bought it played it for 20 days, died and his wife cut the end off so the kids wouldn't plug it in. It was 20 days old when I got it 20 years later. She went to heaven. Kids found the box.. Gave me the 225 and 500.00 for fixing a tractor. I was happy. I just broke that one in. I found the box in my stuff.

Mac is fun. :-) 24K cases for MC60. I got to get that done. Who does stuff like that? MAC people.. Better than a gold plated toilet. AY?

This is pretty sad.  For months MP was posting these deliriously positive videos about AGD gear.  Now that he's lost the dealership, he's got a new vid out pushing Jeff Rowland and decrying the AGD, which he raved about to me on the phone just several weeks ago.  Is this what a "fair weather friend" is?

I wouldn’t do business with this guy even if he was the only person who sold audio. Looks like he does more harm than good. He would make a great used car or cable salesman.

@oldhvymec    "...who does that..." People for whom the most important factor in their audio experience is the visual, obviously.
