MR67 MR74 Update

Posted by ancient tones on May 14, 2025 at 13:35:21:
I got a partial refund on the MR74. It's a nice piece cosmetically, no rust or pitting and the glass is nice. I'll have to ship it, as my local tech no longer does alignments. I'm happy with this. Mike at RadioX tuners is probably where it will go. If it works out my Sony ST-5000F will go to him too.

It's funny that online people love certain brands or wouldn't have one. I need to try a Mcintosh sometimes so here it goes. I can always sell it.

Now the MR67 is a whole different story! Yikes! It has rust and pitting that was not obvious in the pictures. The supplied tubes include duplicates, probably meaning that some are bad. And there is still 5 tube sockets that no tube was included for. I realized that it was not perfect, but the description was way off. "Tested and working, this was taken from a working environment ". Rated as Very Good. Most of their stuff looks like it was aquired from estate sales or storage locker type buys. They have good feedback. I'm familiar with them so I'm pretty sure that they will take it back without a hassle.

I'm back to square one, looking for a tuner to tide me over while mine are in the shop.
