McIntosh MA-6100 Integrated Amp - 70 wpc/cont. Made from 1972-1979 with an MSRP of $700.

Great phono stage. Pre-out / Main-in jacks for setup flexibility. Can run both 1 pair of main speakers, 1 pair of remote. SOLID unit, with service record at Hillcrest Hifi in Dallas. Amp plays wonderfully, and all pots / switches move freely and without noise.

Cosmetics - as clean as they come. Clean enough to static in a friggin museum. Facia glass is perfect, all silk-screened lettering intact. Cages are perfect. I can't find a mark on this thing.

$450 + ship.

Add $100 for optional (also gorgeous) American Walnut Panloc wood case.

    Schwing! is reserved for special moments such as this Toxis. Showing my age I guess.

    Russ - Would you be interested in just parting with the case?

    You must've heard that, cause you're to young to remember it.

    WHO is finding this stuff for you, or are there police departments in Tejas working overtime on the burglaries?

    You're right. In 1976 I was listening to Camptown Races on a mono 45rpm Fisher-Price record player.

    Actually, this is the 3rd 6100 I've had this year. Hopefully it won't be the last.

    I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BUYING THIS ITEM.

    If it works as good as it looks I must have.
    I live in Muskogee, Ok. and would give you my fed ex account to ship FED- Ex Ground.

    I must have this question answered first....

    It must be able to power my SDA2a's for full effect of the SDA effect.

    It is in my price range....

    Please respond

    Hmm...this must've popped up while I was away. Looks like a real nice amplifier. If only I were about 20 years older, had tons of money, and a lot of rooms for this stuff. :D

    EDIT: Just curious anyways, would it have enough juice to run those SDA 2A speakers?
