SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE!

CHECK OUT MY OTHER REVERB ITEMS!


ONE FAMILY OWNED!


PLEASE NOTE: I Provide Reverb Safe Shipping RSS with everything I sell and ship. And, I pay for this protection out of my own pocket. Sometimes it can cost me in excess of $60 depending on the item being protected. This coverage protects both you, the buyer, and me, the seller, against loss or damage during shipment. And, I never sell ANY of my items "As-Is". All my items are guaranteed to look and function as advertised or I will gladly accept a return. What other sellers provide that kind of service? The answer is: Very few, take a look and see!

These Vintage, McIntosh Pre-Amplifiers are getting harder and harder to find and especially in this Near Mint Condition and with the original L-14 American Walnut case In Near Mint Condition as well with the Original L-14 McIntosh Box, as well, Very Rare!

NO OTHER L-14 CASE IS OFFERED ON ANY OF THE OTHER C-28 UNITS HERE ON REVERB AND NO OTHER CASE, PERIOD, IS OFFERED ON REVERB, EXCEPT MINE!

VERY RARE! AND, I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX FORIT AS WELL!

THE WOODEN CASING IS NEAR MINT, IT'S 47 YEARS OLD BUT COULD BE MISTAKEN FOR NEW!

THERE ARE NO FUNCTIONAL ISSUES OR OTHER ISSUES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER ON THIS UNIT, GUARANTEED!

One, Rare in this condition, McIntosh C-28 and L-14 both with their original boxes and I have the original C-28 manual as well!

THIS UNIT HAS BEEN SERVICED, AND RECAPPED WHERE NEEDED, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RESTORED!

This unit functions like it did when it was new!

Ships from San Marcos, CA. Packed safely and securely. Please Read my Feedback and Reviews! If bought and paid for Monday through Wednesday, I will ship out on Saturday. If bought and paid for Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday, I will ship out by the following Wednesday!  And, because I ALWAYS use the Reverb Protection Plan when shipping which protects both you and me against potential damage in transit, And, I typically lose money on shipping because I only charge for the carrier fees; boxes Styrofoam, packing peanuts and tape all cost money as well. In addition, I don't ship quickly or cheaply. Why sloppily throw vintage gear in Excellent or Mint condition into a box or poorly wrap it so it gets damaged in transit? I DO NOT DO THAT! So, Please Be Patient! I am not Amazon either! I am an individual selling the massive amount of Vintage Gear that my family has acquired over the past 60 years. Sometimes I sell a dozen items in a week and it takes time to pack and ship each item!

The items I am selling here on Reverb are not Pre-boxed and already packaged and ready for shipment. I pack them AS THEY ARE SOLD!

I am meticulous with my packaging and I agonize over choosing the proper box and the materials that are ideal for each unit. Boxes, especially ones that are the correct dimensions for the item at hand are not always easy to come by. I use high quality electronics boxes especially made for shipping vintage items of this type and if one box in the proper size is unavailable, I use TWO corrugated cardboard boxes, putting one box with the unit in it INSIDE another larger box with even more packing material to fully protect the unit and that, especially, can be costly.

So, the Price is Firm! However, the price is Negotiable if you bundle and buy 2 or more other of my Reverb items!Thanks ; )

In General, what follows are the shipping parameters! Please Note:This following shipping timetable is a guideline and not set in stone. Extenuating circumstance from the shipper or from my personal life can sometimes delay shipment. Things like delays due to Covid-19 which impacts staff shortages and supply chains, multiple buys on this platform in a short amount of time for example, 10 items sold in a 7-day period, or the illness of a child or my own illness or a fire or flood or an earthquake. I understand that most of the latter types of these occurrences are rare. But, even Huge insurance companies allow for Force Majeure (look it up). And, please understand that I am only one person and if you want the rare vintage item you bought to arrive in the same condition it left me, it will take time to pack it and ship it right! And, if something happens like an extenuating circumstance, it will take a little more time to ship! Thank you for your understanding!

So, in general, if bought and paid for Monday through Thursday, I will ship out within 72 hours (business days, not Weekends). If bought Friday, Saturday or Sunday I will ship out no later than the following Wednesday! I don't quickly or sloppily pack and ship. I agonize over picking the proper packing materials and proper boxes which I buy for the item AFTER the item is sold. I have dozens of vintage audio items available for sale and I DO NOT HAVE THEM PACKED AND READY FOR SHIPMENT BEFORE THEY ARE SOLD, I DON'T DO IT LIKE THAT! I AM NOT AMAZON OR A LARGE ONLINE COMPANY, I AM A SOLE PROPRIETOR OF A LARGE COLLECTION OF VINTAGE AUDIO ITEMS THAT MY FAMILY COLLECTED OVER 60 YEARS. When you receive your turntable in the same condition as it left me, you will thank me! Please, look at my feedback regarding Packing and Shipping! Price is Firm! However, the price is Negotiable If you buy 2 or more of my Reverb items concurrently.

Ships from San Marcos, CA. Packed safely and securely. I ALWAYS use the (RSS) Reverb Safe Shipping option when shipping an item I have sold in order to protect both you and me, I typically lose money on shipping because of this because RSS costs money. The more rare or valuable an item is, the more it costs to insure! In addition, I don't ship quickly or cheaply. Why sloppily throw a vintage receiver in Excellent condition into a box or poorly wrap it so it gets damaged in transit? I DO NOT DO THAT! I am meticulous with my packaging and I agonize over choosing the proper box that is ideal for each unit. Boxes, especially ones that are the correct dimensions for the item at hand are not always easy to come by. I use high quality double walled electronics boxes especially made for shipping vintage items of this type and if one box in the proper size is unavailable, I use TWO single walled corrugated cardboard boxes, putting one box with the unit in it INSIDE another larger box with even more packing material to fully protect the unit and that especially can be costly.

So, the Price is Firm! However, the price is Negotiable if you bundle and buy 2 or more of my Reverb items concurrently!

Thanks ; )
