mc602

I have a mc602 which I plan to keep for the rest of my life. I bought it from audio classics around 2011. it's condition is a-1. it was a demo unit. I think it meant like new , no scratches. I'm 65 years old. I only use it like 8 hours a week. I told my son that when I die it's his. what maintenance should I give it so it will last another 20 years?

Yes...it's too heavy to take to the beach. I can't think of any other negatives.

Or if one of the caps goes. A friend in Belgium is having  awful problems sourcing a new one, or a dealer  that can help. Has asked around a lot. I believe the caps are an odd size and old stock, difficult to source or replace with new or better ones and dealers are not necessarily trained enough to fix.

If he was in the states it would not be a problem. I wonder if he contacted McIntosh directly.

if he is willing to spend the money, maybe he can contact mcintosh and send his unit to have it fixed!
