  • McIntosh MA6100 amplifier amp restoration repair service rebuild kit capacitor

    Please note we also offer a FULL kit with INSTRUCTIONS ———–> LINK(Or search for eBay item number:155126497755)The scarcity of good, honest techs who can do good and reasonably priced restoration/rebuild of audio equipment inspired me to create this restoration kit. In today’s day and age, it is difficult to find a knowledgeable technician who can service your audio gear properly. I have seen many poor quality restorations of equipment that cost way too much for their owners. In 99% of the cases, only a few parts were replaced, instead of a full and proper restoration job.A proper restoration must replace all electrolytic capacitors on all boards. Do not fall for partial kits that restore just one PCB (power supply, power amp, etc.). This is not a good or proper way to restore your audio equipment. It is the same as with car tires; one should never replace just one tire and keep the other worn-out tires on. A proper rebuild requires a full recap of all PCBs.On the other hand, if one succeeds in finding a good tech, the wait time is usually 6-12 months for the unit to be serviced, and costs are sky-high. I have been servicing audio equipment for many years and have developed deep respect for all good equipment. Knowing how amazing and warm these units can sound, I decided to put together this kit. It includes very good upgrades and improvements that must be done to the unit. This restoration kit will make a huge difference in the sound quality. All the parts are of high-quality Japanese Nichicon / Rubycon / IC / United Chemi capacitors.I am extremely particular about the quality of the parts provided in this kit. Knowing how many bogus/fake caps, diodes, resistors, etc. are out there, I source all the parts from reputable wholesalers and buy them in bulk.

  • McIntosh MA6100 replacement front panel LED bulbs lights lamps FULL SET kit

    I also offer restoration kits and new production volume controls. See links below. I have been servicing McIntosh units for a while. With years I’ve developed deep respect toward McIntosh gear . It is a pity to see how many units are suffering from always failing incandescent bulbs! How much money is wasted for services to replace those incandescent bulbs over and over again! After many years of back and forth I decided to develop a perfect/exact LED replacement that has greener bulbs for the lettering/paneling. The green color of the lettering, as time and practice showed, fades away and becomes less green. Due to this I decided to develop this green colored LED with foggy lens and proper voltage bulbs. I got in touch with a manufacturer of LED bulbs and worked with them to develop this LED bulbs. I am glad to announce that I succeeded. I am very happy with the result and am sure you will be too! This auction includes everything you need to update/upgrade your McIntosh MA6100 and give it a facelift. These are frosted lens bulbs. The frosted lens allows much wider and even light distribution compared to a clear lens. There is no halo effect with the frosted lens. Included: 10 LED Bulbs: 4 x Green LED bulbs for paneling/lettering 4 x warm white for indicators 1 x wired LED 1 x bi-pin LED LED bulbs are much superior in comparison to the original incandescent bulbs. These do not produce any heat, heat that damages internal filters and boards. These have milky lens that allows the light to spread at a wide angle just like in an incandescent bulb.

  • McIntosh MA6100 Service Manual – GREAT CONDITION

    This is the service manual for the MA6100 LATER VERSION with the 4/8-Ohm switch on the back. I worked as the Sales Training Manager for McIntosh for 25 years, so I have lots of Mac “stuff”. This manual can be a bit harder to find at a reasonable price, since most manuals are for the earlier version.

  • McIntosh MA6100 Preamp Faceplate Indicator LED Lamps bulbs Upgrade Kit lights

    We Also have this set in Green (in my opinion it looks MUCH better) Click THIS ——> LINK As someone who has serviced many various vintage audio equipment for a considerable amount of time, I have developed a deep admiration for good quality gear. However, I have noticed that many of these units suffer from constantly failing incandescent bulbs, resulting in wasted money on services to replace them time and time again. After years of dealing with this issue, I decided to take matters into my own hands and develop an LED replacement that would match the color temperature and angle of the light. Through my research and collaboration with a manufacturer of LED bulbs, I was able to develop a perfect replacement that not only matches the color temperature but also offers a 360-degree lighting angle compared to the 120-degree angle of regular LED bulbs. This LED replacement has the correct voltage and is sure to save users time and money in the long run. I am thrilled with the results of my efforts and confident that this LED replacement will be a game-changer. Say goodbye to constantly replacing incandescent bulbs and hello to the reliable and efficient lighting of LED technology.Included: 8 x 6.3V Warm white LED bulbs Warm white provides illumination like incandescent bulbs but without the heat which can cause premature de-laminating of glass. LED also has a very long lifespan so you won’t need to be concerned with the hassle of constantly changing bulbs. Bulbs will be tested for quality assurance prior to shipping.
