McIntosh C22 Preamp First Look and Restoration Plan
HTML-код

- First look at a Mcintosh C22 preamp from about 1962-1963. The plan is to rebuild the power supply section first and then re-evaluate for further needs/upgrades. Sorry for the poor focus, I just started using a new camera and am in the process of getting the settings correct.

Your father has exceptional taste.
I have the same preamplifier. I decided not to modify with different part. This preamplifier was made back to deliver certain tonal characteristic back when it was made with the parts available that period. If anyone changes parts, that particular sound charateristic will be gone for good. I know by upgrading with today's higher quality parts will make the preamp sounds much more sharp, clear, precise and overall better but that's not the original sound the originally creator intended back then. The only part I will consider modifying is upgrading the power supply with better rectifier and 3 cans of electrolytic capacitors for safety reason.
Any change of providing an update to your project? I'd love to see the restoration.
No more updates on the status of this project ?
It belonged to your Dad? I wouldn’t sell it. But that’s just me....
I’m not selling it. I am restoring it for him.
Ahhhh, my bad. When referred to him as “the owner”, it sounded like you meant a 3rd party. It is just gorgeous. Have fun. I’m very jealous.
OldTechFan where are you located? I’m in Southern California with my dad’s old C22 that needs similar attention. If you’re close, would love to chat.

Why do service guys on RUclips always talk in slow motion like they're doing Mr. Rogers?
