McIntosh MC-240 new capacitors

February 8th, 2015 posted under Amps.

This beautiful McIntosh MC-240 stereo tube amp came in with all original capacitors. We replaced all of the electrolytic cans with CP Manufacturing cans which are made on the original Mallory equipment and are drop-in replacements. Most recaps on these McIntosh amps use lower quality capacitors here and require holes to be drilled in the chassis to mount them, but keeping the amp original is important. The other electrolyrics were replaced with Sprague Atoms and film capacitors were replaced with 716P Orange Drops. The original “bumblebee” film capacitors were left in-place at the request of the customer.
