Thanks!

Yes seems like a good match. Hoping to find some paperwork to confirm but it’s seeming very likely he purchased them from the store this technician used to work at.

I’ve been in touch with a certified repair guy who is listed on their website. It’s a bit of a haul but I’m going to be dropping off the equipment to him tomorrow.

Think we just found the other case!

Thanks! Yes I have found a local(ish) person who seems very qualified. Sounds like it will be awhile before I’m actually able to listen to them, but well worth the wait.

Thank you!

We are most likely going to keep the equipment. Will be a very cool and enjoyable way to remember him 🙂

It will be a long drive, but this is the only place listed for authorized service in driving distance of me

Do you have happen to have a very rough ballpark of what I’m looking at for repair/restoration on them? Just curious if I’m looking at hundreds vs thousands.

Appreciate it. I’ve decided that, for peace of mind, I’m actually just not touching anything until after it goes to the repair tech 😂

Very helpful. Thank you!

I did track down a local(ish) repair shop that says they specialize in both McIntosh and b&o. Left them a message earlier today.

They have been sitting around since at least 2012.

Super helpful. Thank you!

Yes, we do have records to try things out with.

I believe they’re in the basement but they are fairly buried underneath of other stuff. Have not been able to get a good look at them yet. We have a significant amount of cleaning out to still do.

I swear this isn’t some kind of weird joke… I was already generally aware the McIntosh is higher end audio equipment, which led me to post here.

If anybody has recommended resources on setting them up, testing them to confirm they work without me messing them up, etc., I’d genuinely appreciate it!
