About this model
A second MC240, this one in what the seller called immaculate condition with its original box, cage and manual. The tube line-up matches the other MC240 in the archive: four McIntosh-branded GE 6L6s, three Telefunken 12AX7s, two 12AU7s and two RCA 12BH7s. One capacitor had been replaced after losing value; the rest were original.
A boxed MC240 is rare, and the box itself has collector value. The model ran from 1960 to 1969 at 40 watts per channel. See the first MC240 page for more on the design.
