McIntosh MA-5100 VINTAGE Integrated Amplifier - WOOD CASE - EXCELLENT CONDITION

Up for grabs is this beautiful McIntosh MA-5100 Integrated Amplifier. I have to get rid of some equipment so some lucky person is going to snatch this unit up. It's an incredible and historical piece of electronic audio equipment and is highly sought after by hifi collectors and audiophiles alike. Original wooden case. 45 watts a channel, which in McIntosh power, is a huge amount. It's perfect for records, cds, radio, and tapes. No issues with the glass or lights as they're in working condition. No static. Recently serviced by an authorized local McIntosh dealer who did a routine service to clean and inspect it, and certified that it's in perfect working condition. He told me I should hold on to it, but unfortunately I have to sell.

This unit is a work of art sonically as well as aesthetically and it looks like it's right out of the mid-century modern era. Even when you're not using it, it looks good.

Reasonable offers considered. Lowball/screwball offers will not.
Unless it's against some rules I'm not aware of, I can also accept Venmo, or cash if local.  

Local pick-up only in the Los Angeles area. I have the original McIntosh box for it, too, so shipping is also an option.  Shipping cost guesstimate is probably between $50 to $75 plus insurance.  

Here's a link to a great example of what the MA-5100 can do.
