Restored this vintage McIntosh MC2505 stereo amplifier for a good friend. We opted to go with LED lamps which greatly eases the load on the power transformer but does require a little more work than just replacing the old incandescent lamps but the results were worth it. Many hours were spent checking and replacing components. The speaker on/off switch required quite a bit work to restore to its original working condition. All in all, the old Mac is back in business. Now, if we could only find a original wood case that wouldn't break the bank...
