About this model
The MX110 is McIntosh's tube FM tuner and preamplifier in one chassis, made from 1962 to 1969 according to the company's legacy list; the Z suffix appears on later units, while McIntosh's list covers the model simply as MX110. This example was described as near mint and working, with a small bubble in the glass, light pitting on the chrome and Telefunken and McIntosh tubes.
Combining tuner and preamp in one unit made sense for a system built around a single stereo power amplifier such as the MC240 or MC275.
