    Probably needs refurbishing, but I imagine it could have some good value.

      Depends on the condition. They sold for $153 new. The lowest price sold on Audiogon was about $300, the highest price was about $1900. The average price is around $840.

          Just FYI, "What cost $153 in 1956 would cost $1172.49 in 2007." as per here:

            this was found in an electronics lab being cleaned out for asbestos removal... better investment than the asbestos 8O

              Testing B&W with McIntosh & Marantz
              by audioqueso
              I'm curious about a test I want to do. So I would like to get people's opinion about this test.

              I have $4-5k budget that I have to improve my B&W Nautilus 805/HTM2 setup. I currently have a Marantz SR7002 AV receiver powering them.

              I've been wanting to audition McIntosh...

              b&w 803s and McIntosh MC275?
              by specialized
              Hi there.. I have read some reviews on MC275, and i start thinking that maybe it would be nice upgrade to my Rotel RB-1080.

              So what do u think? Is McIntosh Tube MC275 worth considering for my 803s?
              Would be a improvement coparing to RB-1080?

              Any experience with 803s...

              Realistic McIntosh setup for 802Di and 805Di
              by mrciave
              Hi all,

              I'm new to this forum, congrats, lots of competent people and enthusiasm as well!

              I'm going for the big jump, moving from a entry-level system to a high-end one (skipping the intermediate steps, which in the end are more expensive than going straight for it)....

              Rotel to McIntosh
              by RotelGuy
              Hi, I have some Rotel equipment and been very happy with them. I always like the meters and lights and build quality of the McIntosh looks. I've read forums where people say that McIntosh is out of Rotel's leauge and McIntosh is far better and superior. This sent me down a path of really wanting...
