I found vintage McIntosh tube gear at a garage sale back in the late 80's. Amp, tuner and pre amp-cant recall the model numbers (but I think it was MC240 amp, MC77 tuner and cant recall the pre-but all tubed units). All in great condition-chrome, glass and labels all perfect. The seller want $50 for each piece, so I bought it all. If i found it today, I would keep it. Back then, I sold it for to a trader for around $3000. I was 22 and stoked.

Technics 1200 MK2 Turntable and power supply with granite base (serial number 6). Exteremely rare ESS Transar Speaker system complete with multiple necessary cables and equipment. Luxman Power Amp customed at Luxman with before and after specs (high power with massive caps), Luxman pre-amp customed at Luxman with before and after specs (toggle switch construction), Luxman eq customed at Luxman with before and after specs (toggle switch construction).
