Buying notes

75-watt McIntosh tube amplifier, produced across multiple generations. Identify which generation before buying; original 1961 production, reissued versions, and MkVI each have different values. Original 1960s examples command a large premium. Check tube condition and bias; output transformer condition is critical and expensive to remedy.
