I just wanted to share some recognition for Mike. He did an absolutely fantastic job restoring a McIntosh MX-113. This tuner/preamp combo is an excellent unit. It has the same tuner section as the MR-74 and the preamp section of a C-26. A friend of mine from Club Polk (Esavinon) found it on a curb in NYC. Ed is an EMT in NYC and was racing to a distress call in his ambulance when he spotted the Mac and a Sony receiver sitting on the curb. Ed said $h*t! as he could not stop to pick it up. On his return, he saw that the Sony receiver was gone but there was the Mac sitting on the curb in the middle of New York City.
The Mac was filthy and he didn't know if it worked or not. He sent it to me and I never got around to plugging it in, yet alone cleaning and trouble shooting. Wind the clock forward about one year and I asked Mike to take a look at it. Mile meticulously cleaned, checked out all the functions did some repairs and it's up and running and sounding great.
Mike, you did a great job! I had a brief visit yesterday with Mike yesterday at his house. Mikey813 was there, his lovely wife and cute little daughter. Mike's system was sounding great with the Mac and I hated to leave with it as everything was sounding so good. Anyways, how about a few pictures?? Enjoy! Hat's off to Mike!!
