Item TitleDescriptionMCINTOSH MA6800 Integrated Amplifier AC100V one owner Comment from the previous ownerI have not played it in 20 years and it sounds great.There are bubbles and cracks on the panel (picture 5). The surface is not damaged and the cracks are internally formed, but the bubbles have been there since I bought it new. I added perforated metal to the case to improve heat dissipation, as shown in image 9.The green light on the front is almost out. Please replace it.The light on the meter panel is dim and should be replaced if you are concerned about it. I thought it was enough to listen to music as it is.Because the inside is still original and has not been modified.Voltage is 100 volts. Message from meI was contacted by many customers asking me to find MA6800.Everyone is a valued customer, so please consider buying from anyone who finds the listing.First-time customers are also welcome!Best regards.keiko I will pack it tightly and send it to you.
